Producer Description
"Freshly charred and toasted, these custom made Chinkapin, or Quercus Muehlenbergii American white oak casks are a type of oak native to central and eastern North America. The fresh charring of the cask brings a rich colour and flavour early on in the maturation process, and the high toast caramelises the natural sugars in the wood. Expect sweet toffee and butterscotch on the nose, with vibrant dark fruit flavours and deep, rich colours at a young age."

Quercus whatnow? Quercus Humboldtii is an oak species from Colombia apparently. No - not British Columbia. That would be Quercus Garryana. Quercus Humbolldtii is also known as Andean Oak and is native to Colombia and Panama. Thanks Wikipedia!
Anyhow, this single malt from Raasay Distillery was fully matured in Colombian Oak before being bottled at 50.7%. If you are looking to see how Columbian oak changes a whisky versus the more typical French, Spanish, or American oak casks, now is your chance!
