✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the wind-swept shores of the Isle of Skye, this extraordinary 27-year-old single malt represents the pinnacle of long-term coastal maturation. At Talisker, Scotland's historic distillery founded in 1830, the elements of the island—wild seas, peat, and rain—are captured in the spirit. Over nearly three decades of quiet slumber in oak casks, the distillery's trademark fiery black pepper and intense peat smoke have mellowed, transforming into a deeply complex, elegant masterpiece. The traditional wooden worm tubs and unique five-still configuration contribute to a rich, oily texture that carries notes of salted caramel, old leather, soft campfire smoke, and dried dark fruits, all underpinned by a persistent maritime breeze.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1830 by brothers Hugh and Kenneth MacAskill on the windswept shores of Loch Harport in Carbost, Talisker is the oldest operating distillery on the Isle of Skye. 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.
