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'.

Rather bitter a bit harsh, wouldn't buy again
Far too over powering with the smoke on this whiskey. Not nice at all unless you've severely damaged your taste buds after years of smoking cigars.. not reccommended at all! Get your self a nice Glen morganie!
Having been fairly new to single malts in the last 1-2 years. I have become so favourable to Peat heavy and boisterous whiskeys. In my time, I have tested a few of the common go to’s. My favourite without a doubt if Lagavulin 16. It takes me on an experience and I feel like I am truly beholding the whiskey world when I unfolded this dram. I picked up the talisker Skye after enjoying the talisker 10. I would like to just say after reading the below reviews, it is sweet and it is all the things people are saying it is, yet, that’s exactly what it is boasting and trying to be. It’s a great introduction for anyone trying to get into whiskey that is peat heavy. Enjoy this dram in a Glencairn with one ice cube for my personal favourite indulgence.
Shows it’s young age, a little coarse. A dash of water helps smooth it out. Not bad if you like a bit of Islay peat, but there are better examples at the same price. If it’s on a deal (often is) then not bad at all, but I wouldn’t pay full price.
This is a harsh whiskey in my opinion and nothing like the smokey seaweed of the 10 year old. I would not buy again
