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'.
It reminds me of a popular outside cleaning fluid. Very disappointing . I beleive i tasted this a few years back from a well known own brand discount store . I would not buy again to think I got this methylated spirits instead of Jura .. silly me.
Reading the reviews here it's obviously a marmite whisky. If you've never tried Talisker before you might find the flavour challenging. I really like Talisker, so if you don't like it please don't pour down the sink, send it to me and I suggest you go back to Speyside for your whisky. I find most Speyside dull. Not bad just dull although there are exceptions. For me the further west and north you go the more intresting the whisky. That's the beauty of whisky, there is one out there for you somewhere, probably more if you keep searching
Worst drink I have ever tasted, emailed the distillery and only got a auto blurb email in reply. Can't give the bottle away, even offered to send a sample at my expense to distillery
Loved it, bit harsh maybe but well worth the price.
Too harsh and as many have said it tastes like disinfectant. A bit of water took the edge off slightly but still not worth the money
