Tasting Notes

Nose

Powerful and growing — sweet malt, ripe red berries, smoke, brine, explosion of pepper, gathering like a storm, youthful but rounded

Palate

Mellow and rich — then very spicy, tongue-coating sweetness with nutty smokiness, cranberries and blackcurrants, peat always present, black pepper, the toasted oak adding warmth

Finish

Peppery and maritime — the storm breaking, smoke and sweetness in conversation, the 45.8% providing the Skye character with full intensity

Expert Review

7/10

Punchier than the 10 Year Old — an NAS release from refill and toasted American oak at 45.8%. 'An intense Talisker with profoundly maritime character. Like a warm welcome from a wild Hebridean sea.' Brine, burning embers, cranberries, black pepper explosion. The storm before the calm.
