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'.

Can't go with all the negatives or sink pouring...second time drank this good 3 year apart...smooth sweet 'liqourice notes' Whilst I agree not a 10 or the much better 8 it's unworthy of the unworthy derision as many seem to think.
I'm usually a bourbon drinker but I love this scotch, pour a "good" measure with a giant ice cube and it makes a great longer drink. It really grows on you.
Very nice and full flavour. I added slightly more water than my usual 2-1, which released a great deal more of the 'soft' flavours.
I bought this to treat myself, little did I know I would use it to punish myself, it tastes awful, haven't got it me to pour down the sink, so use it for punishment !!
By nose at first It seemed promise good i feel a lot of sea in It but when i tasted the more disgusting whisky i have been drinking so far.Very harsh and chimic.At this point much better Johnny Walker Red label or Glen Grant are cheaper and taste good.i won't buy again 35 € wasted away you can find much better at this range of price.
