✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Talisker 25 Year Old Bottled in 2001 is a legendary release in the history of the Isle of Skye's oldest distillery. Distilled in the mid-1970s and matured for a quarter of a century in refill casks, this limited edition was bottled at a natural cask strength of 57.5% ABV, capturing the raw, untamed spirit of the Skye coastline before later annual releases were standardized at lower strengths. The maritime climate of Carbost deeply infuses the spirit during its long slumber, marrying Talisker's signature fiery black pepper and intense peat smoke with softened, elegant notes of wax, brine, dried fruits, and old oak. The distillery's traditional wooden worm tubs and unique U-shaped wash stills contribute to an incredibly oily, full-bodied texture that has made this specific 2001 bottling a holy grail for Scotch whisky collectors and connoisseurs.
🍾 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.
