✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Talisker Distillers Edition Double Matured represents a masterful marriage of rugged maritime peat and luscious sherry sweetness. Originally distilled on the windswept Isle of Skye, this expression undergoes a secondary maturation in bespoke Amoroso sherry casks. The 'TD-S: 5AM' batch, bottled in 1997, is a legendary vintage release that showcases how the intense peat smoke, brine, and trademark black pepper finish of Talisker's spirit are beautifully rounded by the rich, dried-fruit and cocoa notes of the Spanish wood. This double-maturation process softens the fiery island character, creating a deeply complex, warming dram that tells the story of Skye's dramatic coastline meeting the warmth of Andalusian bodegas.
🍾 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.
