✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Talisker Forests of the Deep 44 Year Old is an extraordinary, ultra-rare single malt that represents the pinnacle of the distillery's maritime heritage. This exceptional release, part of the Xpedition Oak series, was created in collaboration with the ocean conservation organization Parley for the Oceans. The whisky spent over four decades maturing before being finished in casks containing staves that accompanied an expedition to the great kelp forests of the Cape of Good Hope. These casks were uniquely charred using sustainably sourced Scottish sea kelp, infusing the ancient spirit with an unparalleled depth of marine character, sweet peat smoke, and warming pepper. It stands as a monument to the wild spirit of the Isle of Skye and the untamed power of the ocean.
🍾 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.
