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'.

for the money so many single malts like glenmorangie and glenfiditch and smoother, i saw this is £50 and was on offer for £25 on amazon but first smell and taste regret it
i found this to be an absolute delight normally a lover of Irish whiskey this single islay malt is perfect for my palate the smokey flavour and malty after taste is beautiful certainly one of my favourites\
One of my top 5 single malts. The smokey peatyness makes this a a warm delight. Highly recommended and great value
Goes to show how we all have such different tastes. I absolutely love this one. It was bought for me as a gift and after reading the reviews on here, thought it would likely serve as an emergency dram incase I ever run out of my usual favourites. However, I was more than pleasantly surprised, I’ve now bought a second bottle.
May I pass on a tip from Master of Malt Charlie MacLean If a whisky strikes you as a bit fierce, add a wee drop of sherry to bottle, single /max of double measure, and leave to marry for a few weeks. Softens it significantly, Distillers forbidden to do this-but you can !
