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'.
The worst whisky ever, tastes of disinfectant, will never buy it again!
Well, I’d advise against this one. Really disappointed. Being a fan of their traditional 10 yrs I bought the Skye version. Will not happen again...
Beautiful ?? ❗a well balanced Malt, with Great overtones , much enjoyed ??
Dreadful, the worst whisky I have ever tasted. A very industrial flavour and a nasty aftertaste. My son bought me a bottle for Christmas, a waste of £38. Perhaps I can use it as a disinfectant!
I used to love Talisker when it was just Talisker. I think it was 10 or 12 years old, the stuff I had do in the day. Peaty, Smokey, Seaweedy and Medicinal it was. Lovely. Now I can’t buy that stuff, just this. This Skye stuff isn’t like what I remember. It tastes harsh. I don’t think I’ll buy it again.
