  • Discovering Raasay Distillery – The Spirit of the Hebrides

    Discovering Raasay Distillery – The Spirit of the Hebrides

    Located on the small island of Raasay, off the Scottish Highlands, the Isle of Raasay Distillery embodies the very spirit of the new generation of Scottish whisky makers.

     

    Opened in 2017, it combines tradition and innovation, relying on local ingredients: Scottish barley, rainwater filtered through the island’s volcanic rock, and carefully selected casks that express the richness of the maritime terroir.

    Each expression produced at Raasay reflects its surroundings: the salty Atlantic breeze, light peat, and subtle woody notes derived from their multiple maturation methods.

    Their goal? To create complex, elegant whiskies deeply connected to their island origins.

     

  • Cocktail of the Month: 100% QuΓ©becois Spirit

    Cocktail of the Month: 100% QuΓ©becois Spirit

    This month, we are thrilled to highlight a 100% QuΓ©becois spirit: Acerum.

    After our first encounter last year, it was the passionate team at Fove
    Distillerie that truly immersed us in this fascinating world. We had the privilege of collaborating with them during exclusive events β€” and even hosting a special β€œGuest Bartender” evening at Bootlegger, celebrating local creativity and terroir.

    Acerum is a one-of-a-kind spirit, distilled exclusively from the fermentation of QuΓ©bec maple sap.
    Since April 2025, it has officially received Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status β€” a government recognition that confirms its authenticity and 100% local origin. In other words, to carry the name Acerum, it must be entirely produced in QuΓ©bec, following strict standards that ensure its purity and artisanal identity.

    A product of local pride, a wonderful discovery, and above all, a perfect source of inspiration for our cocktail of the month β€” available at Bootlegger throughout the month! 🍁✨
    To stay in the fall–winter spirit, we are offering inspiration for a cosmo made with Acerum.
