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'.

Received as a gift and initially had my doubts that this entry level non age statement Talisker would be any good! Well, I was pleasantly surprised with this malt and it has all notes you'd expect from a Talisker, medicinal, peat smoke and pepper spice. Similarly to the 10, once opened it benefits from a few weeks on the shelf to allow to mellow slightly to remove some of the rough edges as its a young whisky. I'm about 3/4 of the way through this bottle and it's improving with each glass.
Tastes like something you’d put on a cut. That is not at all a bad thing though! Iodine, smoke, pepper. Like a tasty house fire. For me personally it’s not an everyday whisky but one I do really enjoy when I’m in the mood for it.
Loved it, interesting, changed its complexity with a splash of water.
Not the best I’ve had. But I like the smokyness. The dram is very Peary and smoky. I think the negative reviews are from people that normally drink highland or other milder whiskeys. I quite enjoyed this whiskey, but then taste is personal.
Undrinkable... I was given a bottle of this for my birthday, sadly it is undrinkable, it has a serious stale after taste. Not for me at all.
