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'.
This is a harsh whiskey in my opinion and nothing like the smokey seaweed of the 10 year old. I would not buy again
I'm a big fan of the Talisker 10 year-old, it's one of my favourite whiskies. So I'm sorry to say I thought this was dreadful. None of the pepperiness of the original, and all that's left is peat and sugar. Not a great combination
Well, I have to say that some of the reviews are quite 'emotional' but think in fairness this whiskey is a disappointment. It is sickly, and I suspect the sweetness is added. Save your money. There are miles better options on masters of malt.
Its sweet and smooth - but has too much of a smokey aftertaste - guess if you smoke this might be good for you but the smokiness lingers too long for me
Perfect dram. Sweet and spicy. Hint of smoke. Perfect with a spliff!
