Distilled in 1985 and bottled in 2013, this rare 27-year-old single malt represents a historic moment in the legacy of the Isle of Skye's oldest distillery. Matured for nearly three decades in refill American oak casks, this expression showcases how time and the rugged, salty winds of the Atlantic coast can soften Talisker's legendary fiery peat and black pepper into an elegant, multi-layered masterpiece. The traditional wooden worm tubs used during distillation preserve a rich, oily texture that carries notes of maritime brine, sweet citrus peel, gentle bonfire smoke, and a sophisticated, warming spice finish. It is a liquid chronicle of Skye's dramatic terroir, captured at the absolute peak of its maturation.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Established in 1830 by brothers Hugh and Kenneth MacAskill, Talisker Distillery is located in Carbost on the Isle of Skye, Scotland (Carbost, Isle of Skye, IV47 8SR, United Kingdom; official website: https://www.malts.com/en-row/distilleries/talisker). As the oldest operating distillery on Skye, Talisker is world-renowned for its distinctive maritime character, combining intense peat smoke, sea salt, and a trademark fiery, black pepper finish. The distillery's unique five-still setup and traditional wooden worm tubs contribute to the oily, full-bodied texture of its spirit. Today, under Diageo's ownership, Talisker continues to produce highly coveted single malts, including its classic 10 Year Old, the elegant 18 Year Old, and exceptional older releases like the 25 Year Old and the rare Bodega Series.
