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'.
£6.50 - £57.75
Very nice whisky for the amount of money. Very enjoyable because of high alcohol percentage. Smokiness and sweetness goes very well together.
A big fan of the Talisker variants, 2 yrs ago, had the Talisker 10yr old, fell in love, and now this Isle of Skye on my buddayy, just crazy, smokey, fiery, citrusy, perfect on-the-rocks stuff & truly worth it single malt. PS, but i feel the 10yr old was better by a bit.!
When I was recently gifted a bottle of this, I didn't know what to expect given some of the harsh reviews of this whisky. I love Talisker 10, find the Dark Storm very nice, and to my surprise I found this to be very enjoyable. As the notes say, it's a mixture of mild smoke, sweetness and spice and I find that in just the right amounts which makes it an enjoyable, easy drinking single malt for an autumn/winter evening.
Big fan. it was my first single malt and i keep going back. Dark storm, 10 year old, port ruighe i keep growing my collection, they all have their place. but love to sit down and enjoy the complexity of talisker skye
A superb whisky. I find it's smokiness to be less restrained than your review but for me this is a delicious plus.
