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'.
Forget all the bollxxx the tasting notes say and go by your own nose and palate. This is an amazing liquid as it tastes like what the Isle of Skye should taste like to me in my imagination. Salty, seaweed, peat, smoke and old fisherman's nets drying in the wind with a hint of TCP on the gumboil on the fisherman's nose! Weird. Not sure it is actually "nice" but is more of an authentic experience. Worth a try for 25 quid.
just open the bottle. the first dram is very nice. A bit less peaty initially but lovely finish. Shame its got caramel in it but for £38 its very nice x
Love it, sweet and spicy, lovely depth of flavour, warms you up, nice hint of smoke and fresh sea air. Delicious.
To young 10yr much better pay the extra
My Son gave me a bottle for Fathers day. Just opened 10pm 17th June. Very different taste I do like a Scotch. Very strong taste I normally like a Jameson very smooth and can be too easy to drink. Lol. May take a while to get on board with this. I'm up for the challenge.
