Talisker Skye was introduced in early 2015, named after the beautiful island on which the distillery resides. This expression brings with it a more well-rounded and sweet flavour profile packed with fresh citrus, sweet smoke, peppery spice and traditional Talisker maritime notes.
Talisker Skye is matured in a combination of refill and toasted American oak casks, with a slightly higher proportion of toasted casks. Talisker Skye whisky is perfect for those who perhaps find the classic Talisker flavour profile a bit too much, not to say that Talisker fans won't enjoy it too.
Sweet stuff, toffees and vanilla ice cream up front, almost grain-like. Becomes increasingly honeyed. There's a little coastal influence here too, just hints of a sweet Caol Ila perhaps, with very restrained smoke.
Honeyed toasted oak, sappy wood, only a little pepper and smoke, apple turnovers and hints of lemon and lime Opal Fruits. Fennel seeds.
Drying and slightly less sweet, hints of spice and smoke.
A more approachable, sweet Talisker. 'The Isle of Skye in June'.
Well from Islands but definitely deserves another 5 stars. Normally I'll be give 4 or 4,5 but because of malcontents no doubt 5.
Great whisky for Islay lovers. Quality one.
Just trying this and I found the same awful chemical taste some others have described. I reckon this is a physiological (genetic?) artefact - some people taste it and others do not (for info Google why some people can't smell asparagus pee). Looking at the dates of review it's difficult to say if it might be a batch issue. Interested to see if Talisker investigate this phenomenon.
I think the negative reviews comes from envyfull competitors:) Stop that irrelevant talking abt others products. If like that - users can not use the reviews. I am a user! A deeply satisfying fresh, yet with tasty deep finish. It got a silver medal. To the price, superb
Taste of coast. Very nice. One of the best.
