FINISH DATE

Raasay
The Islay of Raasay distillery is a short ferry crossing from the Isle of Skye, and is the first legal distillery on this remote island. Founded by R&B Distillers in 2017, who established their name as a blender of whiskies, the distillery has stunning views back across the island towards Skye and the Cullin mountains. The distillery made its debut release in 2021 and is already looking ahead having laid down a variety of casks maturing on site. More warehousing has been built and the team has been seeking to grow barley on the island to meet some of its production needs. Given the variable weather conditions, it is a massive undertaking, albeit exciting and expectations continue to grow around the Raasay distillery.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I bid on the auctions?
You’ll need an account with us to place bids in any auction. Registration takes 60 seconds and there’s a small £5.00 registration fee, payable by credit or debit card. Once paid, you will be registered and can place bids in the auction immediately. The registration fee helps us ensure you’re a real person and a genuine bidder.
Why does the timer extend on a lot?
In the interest of fairness, any bids placed in the final five minutes of a particular lot will extend the end time of that Lot by 15 minutes. We believe in giving our customers a fair amount of time to increase their bid should they wish. Last second sniping isn’t in the spirit of our auctions and by using this system there is no benefit to doing so.
