✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the windswept shores of the Isle of Skye, the Talisker 11 Year Old Special Release 2022 is a striking expression of maritime power and ethereal beauty. Released as part of Diageo's 'Elusive Expressions' series, this single malt pays homage to the legendary sea creatures said to inhabit the deep, dark waters surrounding the distillery. Matured in first-fill ex-bourbon and double-singed oak casks, it captures the classic, untamed spirit of Skye. The nose opens with maritime sea breeze, bonfire smoke, and sweet orchard fruits, leading to a palate of intense peat, brine, and Talisker's signature fiery black pepper finish. This cask-strength release showcases the distillery's traditional worm-tub condensation method, which imparts a rich, oily texture that beautifully balances its smoky intensity.
🍾 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.
