The use of the toasted casks in Talisker Skye gives it a softer, sweeter and fruitier flavour than the 10 year old that relies on deep aging.
Shaped by the sea where it is distilled, every sip of Talisker is a sip of Skye. As rugged and unforgettable as the landscape that shapes it, Talisker is loved all over the world for its smoky maritime character and signature peppery kick.
The story of Talisker begins in 1830, when brothers Hugh and Kenneth MacAskill founded the Talisker distillery in Carbost on the wild shores of the Isle of Skye. For nearly two centuries, Talisker has been committed to capturing the wild spirit of its birthplace, inspiring whisky lovers to experience the elemental beauty of Skye in every sip. (Diageo)
Official Tasting Notes
The first glorious citrus sweetness of fresh oranges develops into soft mango. Maritime air with seaweed, driftwood, and salt continue under.
Medium-bodied and softly textured.
Soft and sweet at first, coating and tongue tingling, with light smoke. Quickly becomes more pungent and savoury with a hot spiciness.
Drier and of medium-length, with a lasting, smooth aftertaste, in which light peaty burnt embers can be found.
