✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the rugged, wind-swept coast of the Isle of Skye, Talisker's single malts are deeply defined by their wild island terroir. This maritime-styled expression embodies the distillery's signature 'made by the sea' character, shaped by the salty sea air that drafts through the warehouses of Carbost. The spirit is crafted using water from Cnoc nan Speireag (the Hill of the Hawks), which flows over rich peat beds, and is distilled in unique stills equipped with traditional wooden worm tubs. This traditional condensation process preserves the heavy, oily compounds of the spirit, resulting in a wonderfully textured, full-bodied single malt that captures the untamed spirit of the Scottish Hebrides with notes of peat smoke, brine, and a distinctive fiery black pepper finish.
🍾 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.
