Talisker 10 Years Old Single Malt Whisky 700mL

A massive success as the island representative in Diageo's 'Classic Malts' series, Talisker 10yo's profile keeps increasing as more fans discover its intense coastal spicy, peaty character. A truly elemental malt.

Made by the sea. Talisker has been the only single malt Scotch whisky distiller beside the sea on Skye since 1830, with its elemental style truly reflecting its maritime surroundings

COMMENT

Another that should need no introduction. The thing to look for in Talisker, as with all smoky whiskies, is sweetness that give the requisite balance to the drying effect of smoke. Underneath Talisker's smoke, which ain't as all-pervading as Lagavulin, is a sweet pear-like quality. When young there are notes of the land: heather, moor, sweet seaweed, and a finish that has a distinctive cracked black pepper hit.

Producer's Tasting Notes

APPEARANCE

Brilliant gold.

NOSE

Powerful peat-smoke with sea-water saltiness, the liquor of fresh oysters, a citrus sweetness.

BODY

Full.

PALATE

A rich dried-fruit sweetness with clouds of smoke and strong barley-malt flavours, warming and intense. At the back of the mouth is an explosion of pepper.

FINISH

Huge, long, warming peppery finish with an appetising sweetness.

Talisker Distillery

Talisker Distillery is well known as one of the Classic Malts and for many years it was the only distillery on the Isle of Skye, but it is now joined by Torabhaig Distilley in the south of the island. There is also a distillery of Raasay, which is a small island accessible by car ferry from Skye. The name Talisker derives from a Norse word that means "sloping rock", but the distillery is actually in a village called Carbost and not in Talisker, which is a place that lies further west along the same road that the distillery stands on.
