Tasting Notes

Nose

Restrained coastal smoke, sea air, light brine, gentle iodine — then ripe fruit unfolds: orange peel, apricot, peach, dried fruits, perfumed and elegant

Palate

Rich sweet peat smoke, maritime salinity, Talisker's signature peppery spice, baking spices — rounded, full, the 18 years of maturation integrating everything beautifully

Finish

Medium-long to long — warming pepper and salt lingering alongside fading smoke, toffee, vanilla, dried fruit and honey, finishing with dry oak

Expert Review

8.5/10

Named Best Single Malt Whisky in the World at the 2007 World Whiskies Awards. From Scotland's oldest distillery on the Isle of Skye, established 1830 in Carbost. Matured in ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks at 45.8%. SIP Awards Platinum 2020. The price has risen steeply from £80 to £175 — but the liquid remains extraordinary.
