Released as part of the limited-edition Diageo Game of Thrones Single Malt Collection, this expression pairs the fiercely independent House Greyjoy of the Iron Islands with the rugged maritime character of Talisker, located on the windswept shores of the Isle of Skye. The match is highly symbolic, as both share a deep, inescapable connection to the sea. This single malt is matured in heavily charred ex-bourbon American oak casks, which imparts a golden copper color and enhances the spirit's natural sweetness. It delivers Talisker's signature elements of intense peat smoke, sea salt, and a fiery black pepper finish, layered with notes of dry Sichuan pepper and dark orchard fruits.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Established in 1830 by brothers Hugh and Kenneth MacAskill, Talisker Distillery is located in Carbost on the Isle of Skye, Scotland (Carbost, Isle of Skye, IV47 8SR, United Kingdom; official website: https://www.malts.com/en-row/distilleries/talisker). As the oldest operating distillery on Skye, Talisker is world-renowned for its distinctive maritime character, combining intense peat smoke, sea salt, and a trademark fiery, black pepper finish. The distillery's unique five-still setup and traditional wooden worm tubs contribute to the oily, full-bodied texture of its spirit. Today, under Diageo's ownership, Talisker continues to produce highly coveted single malts, including its classic 10 Year Old, the elegant 18 Year Old, and exceptional older releases like the 25 Year Old and the rare Bodega Series.
