From the Isle of Skye comes this Talisker single malt, which has spent 18 years in casks which previously held bourbon and sherry. A sweet and smoky malt, a must have for any Talisker fan. If you weren’t already convinced, this fabulous dram picked up the title Best Whisky in the World at the 2007 World Whiskies Awards too.
Quite clean and fresh. There is a mixed fruity sweetness with a spicy character. The peat and smoke rise with notes of perfume and thick oak. Hints of Calvados and a touch of acidity with ground ginger.
Thick, rich and full-bodied. Notes of spicy, peppery oak, espresso beans and wood smoke. A little allspice creeps in, there is a certain zesty character lurking somewhere. The spice builds and builds with utter intent.
Long, with peppery oak.
Immense and rich. Fruits, Oak and Peat. Perfectly balanced. Pleasant and long. Can't get enough.
Tried this at the distillary last week, grabbed a bottle and run straight to the till. Beautiful whisky.
I deleted some of my best work last night. Unrecoverable. I used this to toast the fallen soldier. It was excellent. -Katie
