✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The 'Secret Stills' series by legendary independent bottler Gordon & MacPhail is celebrated for offering rare, undisclosed expressions from Scotland's finest distilleries. Edition 1.2 is widely recognized by connoisseurs as a vintage single malt from the Isle of Skye's iconic Talisker Distillery. Distilled in 1986 and matured for over two decades, this expression captures the dramatic, wind-swept terroir of Skye. The island's peat, maritime air, and pure water source combine with Talisker's unique distillation process—featuring traditional wooden worm tubs—to create a spirit of immense complexity. This independent bottling showcases a softer, more mature side of the distillery's signature fiery character, tempering the intense peat smoke and black pepper with rich oak, dried fruits, and coastal brine.
🍾 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.
