Crisp citrus, sweet smoke, soft fruit, cereal, maritime brine — gentler than the 10
Fresh citrus bursts, honeyed sweetness, subtle peat smoke, soft fruit, signature Talisker pepper
Warming, peppery, lingering smoke — the toasted oak adding sweetness
Talisker Skye — NAS, named after the island. Toasted American oak. Sweeter than the 10. 45.8%.
Citrus and smoke nose. Honeyed peppery palate. Warming smoky finish. Softer Talisker.
Talisker Skye earns a 7 — a softer, more approachable Talisker at £38. Pleasant introduction, but most prefer the more characterful 10.
