✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the rugged, wind-swept shores of the Isle of Skye, this Distillers Edition represents a masterful marriage of peat and sweet. Talisker's signature maritime character—defined by sea spray, intense peat smoke, and a fiery black pepper kick—is beautifully rounded by a second maturation in ex-Amoroso sherry casks. This specific double-maturation process infuses the robust, oily spirit with rich layers of dried dark fruits, cacao, and sweet peat, softening the distillery's coastal edges while enhancing its complexity. The traditional worm tubs used at the distillery preserve a heavy, full-bodied texture that carries these contrasting sweet and smoky elements elegantly across the palate.
🍾 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.
