Tasting Notes

Nose

Sea spray, salted caramel, banana fritters, old oak, heather, pineapple, honey, cool mint, brine — mature yet recognisably Talisker

Palate

Chilli chocolate, smoky barley, nectarines, honeyed smoked dried fruit, raspberry, salt, subtle pepper — woody but restrained, aged yet vital

Finish

Long — smoke turning sweet, cedar, soft dried berries, lingering tropical fruitiness — 25 years perfectly integrated

Expert Review

9/10

A quarter century of maritime peat and pepper from Skye's only distillery. Part of Diageo's annual Special Releases and limited bottlings. Whiskybase 88-89/100. Retains the distillery's signature character despite extended maturation — sea spray, chilli, smoke. A benchmark for aged island malt. £700-900 depending on vintage.
