THE STORY

Made at Carbost on the Isle of Skye, Talisker is famous for its explosive pepper heat, sea-spray and a gentle wisp of smoke.

Nose

Sea spray, smoked fish, white pepper, sweet barley.

Palate

Sweet-then-peppery; peat, orange, chilli heat.

Finish

Very long, warming, with salt and pepper echoes.

Aging process

Ten years in refill American oak casks at Carbost, within sight of Loch Harport.

Terroir & region

Sea lochs, basalt, wild weather. The still design — with distinctive purifier pipes — adds weight and sulphury depth.
