A contemporary label the Raasay way

Ranging from small farms to many new island distillers on the coast of Scotland, it is fair to say that craft spirits are on the increase. With our knowledge and experience in digital technology, we at MCC Glasgow want to help this fast growing market to overcome their challenges. With small volumes involved for modest batch runs, digital printing offers the ideal solution to supply exceptional premium quality labels at a good starter level.

The Isle of Raasay distillery is located on an island off the west coast of Scotland in the Inner Hebrides, just a short 25-minute ferry journey from the Isle of Skye. The distillery places high value on their local character . Therefore, one of their core aims is to keep their activities regional to the most possible extent. These include from distilling and maturation, through to bottling and shipping.  

The distillery entrusted MCC Glasgow with the production of their new Isle of Raasay Single Malt Inaugural Release 2020, the island’s first legal Scotch Whisky. Prior to actual label production, our on-site application engineer, drawing on his expertise, provided the Isle of Raasay team with the necessary support in configuring the machine in the distillery in accordance with the bottle’s exceptional shape.

The unique label design included intricate embellishments, with each label needing to be individually numbered. MCC Glasgow took on the challenge of making their vision become reality. In addition to the label’s debossed texture which complements the textured bottle perfectly, the colors also emulate the dark fruits in the whisky and Raasay’s colourful landscape. The partial gold foil adds a touch of modernity and also reflects the distillery’s striking gold reception building. This state-of-the-art distillery has truly revived the historical Victorian Borodale House in which it is  now located.   

That contrast of contemporary thinking while staying true to history and tradition, is at the heart of everything the Isle of Raasay Distillery does. That’s the Raasay way!”
