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'.
Rough liquid. Add a mixer to take the edge off it
Too much smoke. Horrible taste.
Too much smoke. Horrible taste. Tastes like drinking the washing water after cleaning your charcoal grill at the end of the summer.
Acquired taste this one...bear with it though .. remarkable after taste..... . I personally love it
Fabulous and softer than Storm with a wonderful warming (post hot curry) feel to it. Didn't get much smoke but citrus and honey and apple turnover definitely. Its far less medicinal tcp in taste than storm. The aftertaste is awesome, I have it at this very moment. Many thanks.
