✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Talisker's 25 Year Old bottled in 2005 as part of Diageo's prestigious annual Special Releases is a legendary expression of the Isle of Skye's rugged, wind-swept terroir. Distilled in the late 1970s, this malt matured for a quarter of a century in a combination of refill American and European oak casks before being bottled at a natural cask strength of 57.2% ABV. The distillery's unique U-shaped wash stills and traditional wooden worm tubs—which limit copper contact—impart a heavy, oily texture that beautifully carries Talisker's signature maritime character. This expression is celebrated for its complex interplay of sweet peat smoke, sea spray, old leather, and a trademark warming black pepper finish, capturing the untamed spirit of the Scottish coast.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Talisker blev grundlagt i 1830 af brødrene Hugh og Kenneth MacAskill ved de vindblæste bredder af Loch Harport i Carbost og er det ældste aktive destilleri på Isle of Skye. Destilleriet er berømt for sit unikke destillationsapparat med svanehalsede wash stills og traditionelle, udendørs worm tubs (kondenseringskar), som tilfører råspritten en karakteristisk maritim og vulkansk intensitet. Talisker er i dag en del af Diageos Classic Malts-portefølje og fastholder en kompromisløs dedikation til at skabe kraftfulde, røgede single malt skotske whiskyer. Destilleriets signaturstil er hyldet verden over for sit harmoniske samspil mellem kystnær salthed, fyldig tørverøg, dybde fra tørret frugt og en umiskendelig, krydret eftersmag af sort peber.
