✨ Technical Specifications
The Talisker Bodega Series No. 2 41 Year Old is an extraordinary, ultra-rare single malt that pays homage to the historic trade relationship between the Isle of Skye and the legendary sherry bodegas of Spain. Distilled in 1978, this expression is among the oldest whiskies ever released by the distillery. It was finished in six hand-selected casks that previously held the exquisite, forty-year-old La Goya Manzanilla sherry from Delgado Zuleta, one of the oldest sherry houses in Jerez. This lengthy maturation marries Talisker's classic maritime character—defined by peat smoke, sea salt, and a fiery black pepper finish—with the delicate, dry, and fruit-forward complexity of aged Manzanilla, resulting in an incredibly layered and harmonious spirit.

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.
