Talisker Distillery – ‘Distiller’s Edition’ Isle Of Skye Scotch Single Malt (750ML)
First matured in refill American Oak & European Oak casks and finished in Amoroso-seasoned, re-charred American Oak casks with heavily re-charred new AO ends, the whisky starts with the scent of fresh sea air and seaweed. The taste is smoky and briny yet sweet with rich fruit, balanced with a woody pepper taste, notes of roasted fig, sweet date, and smoky sea salt, followed by a dry, peat smoke and cocoa nib finish.
Talisker Distiller’s Edition has been double-matured in a second cask after the original maturation period (in this case in an Amoroso Sherry cask). The experience is older, sweeter and richer than the regular bottlings. This Edition has a very special bitter-sweet harmony where the peat softens on the palate to a rich, sweet, juicy fruit finish.
Chestnut brown in appearance. Crisp peat flavors at first then softens to enormous richness in the mouth. There’s sweet, roasty malt with a heathery dryness. The sherry notes keep back some of Talisker’s usual pepper. In its place is luscious, slightly oily sweetness- with ripe, juicy fruit and vanilla. Some very deep cocoa notes and vanilla on the finish with lingering quite earthy peat. An enormously chewable single malt, with sweetness having the edge on dryness.Â
Distilled by the sea on the shores of the Isle of Skye in Scotland, centuries of local distilling tradition and the rugged environment are what make our whisky so unique.
