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.
