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'.
Loved it
I brought a bottle of Skye for my Husband who turned 60 recently. He always goes for the peaty malts, like Bowmore, Laphroaig. I was a bit concerned when I read the reviews. However, I need not have been as he loves it, said its his favourite, different to the others and improves as you slowly empty your glass. Just brought him another bottle.
Wouldn't drink this again, taste like cigarette buts and has a disgusting after taste also isn't nice once it hits your stomach and just doesn't sit well. Quite a disappointment for a single malt or a realiser range.
Oh dear. I love Talisker 10 year, and, splashed out on this one on trust. Found it totally different and unacceptable to my palate. Did not agree with me at all.
Thin, too short storage and bad casks time makes this a dull whisky. Nothing like the usual Talisker
