Tasting Notes

Nose

Brine, seaweed, light peat — gingerbread, grapefruit zest, iodine, salty sea air, maritime spray, campfire smoke more than medicinal, touches of dampness and leather

Palate

Sweet and smoky — salt, pepper, celery salt, nougat, moderately oily mouthfeel, then at the back of the mouth an explosion of black pepper that is Talisker's signature, appetising sweetness balancing the heat

Finish

Huge, long, warming — peppery, smoky, clove spice, the Isle of Skye's wild coastline lingering for minutes, one of the longest finishes in Scotch

Expert Review

9/10

The classic peppery maritime single malt from the only distillery on the Isle of Skye — campfire-like peat smoke, salt, and an explosion of black pepper at the back of the mouth. Bottled at a full-strength 45.8% that retains every bit of Skye's wild character. Robert Louis Stevenson called it 'the king o' drinks'.
