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'.
Absolutely beautiful, I've always been a big fan of talisker and talisker Sky doesn't dissapoint. Thank you all.
Got a bottle for Christmas. Found it overpoweringly undrinkable.
Taste is subjective, always will be. I ended up with this after my partner and friend spent a week in Skye and brought it back from it's home. I thought well OK its a single malt and they hadn't a clue anyway, and but I will pretend I like it. I didn't have to pretend. This has something and is a diamond in the rough. I bought a case
I read the criticism and was a little concerned having bought a bottle. However whoever wrote the negative reviews I would question their whiskey credentials. A rich and full bodied rewarding whiskey. Great
Quite unpleasant and pointless. Luckily I got it at a massively reduced price (and therefore was expecting it to be a bit crap).
