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'.
My son just bought me this for xmas. Nice sweetness, but still retaining the talisker peat and smoke. Prefer the ten year old, but still a lovely drink. First night off having worked xmas and relaxing with a few tipples. Well worth buying
Bought this by mistake while looking for real talisker and wish I had been paying more attention. Seems like a whisky concocted for people who don't like whisky.
I am usually a non whiskey drinker; however, was gifted a bottle for my 60th and will definitely be buying a second.
I brought a bottle of this from Morrison’s,it smells like burnt wood and tastes like it as well,when ever I see a talisker bottle il steer clear,this could put many off whiskey and I can see why,vile nasty waste of money
This stuff is just awful, it's as if the stuff was matured in a plastic cask, On the pallet, angry methylated spirit,s and that aftertaste is artificial aspartame with a hint of dirty rubber tyre.
