✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Talisker Glacial Edge 45 Year Old is a monumental release from the Isle of Skye's oldest distillery, representing a masterful fusion of extreme age and innovative wood finishing. This ultra-rare single malt was matured for over four decades before undergoing a pioneering finish in heavily charred American oak casks that were transported to the frozen wilderness of Canada. Exposed to sub-zero temperatures, the wood naturally fractured, allowing the whisky to penetrate deeper into the oak during its final maturation. The result is an incredibly complex spirit that marries Talisker's signature maritime peat smoke, brine, and fiery black pepper with rich, sweet notes of dark toffee, tropical fruit, and exotic spices, all delivered with an exceptionally oily and velvety texture.
🍾 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.
