Isle of Raasay Distillery

R&B Distillers Ltd., formed in 2014, are artisanal distillers of whisky and gin. In 2017, they transformed Borodale House on the Inner Hebridean Isle of Raasay into a state-of-the-art distillery and hotel. 
Isle of Raasay Distillery generates revenue through sales of malt whisky, gin, and specialist casks, plus tours of their on-site visitor centre and bookings of luxury accommodation within their hotel, which is the only accommodation in Scotland housed within the same building as an operational distillery.
