✨ Technical Specifications
The Talisker 25 Year Old Bottled in 2009 is a majestic expression of the Isle of Skye's rugged, wind-swept terroir. Distilled at the historic Carbost distillery, this single malt spent a quarter of a century maturing in traditional oak casks before being bottled at cask strength in 2009. This long slumber tempers Talisker's trademark fiery pepper and intense peat smoke, weaving them into a sophisticated tapestry of maritime salt, beeswax, dried orange peel, and gentle warming spice. The distillery's unique wooden worm tubs and U-shaped wash stills impart a rich, oily texture that carries the coastal influence beautifully, offering a liquid history of Skye's dramatic cliffs and crashing Atlantic waves.

The distillery is celebrated for its unique distillation setup, featuring swan-neck wash stills and traditional outdoor worm tubs, which impart a signature maritime and volcanic intensity to the new-make spirit. Today part of Diageo's Classic Malts portfolio, Talisker maintains an uncompromising dedication to crafting robust, peated single malt Scotch whiskies. Its flagship style is revered across the globe for its harmonious interplay of coastal salinity, rich peat smoke, dried fruit richness, and an unmistakable fiery black pepper finish.
