✨ wine.spec_sheet
Distilled in 1977 and matured for 35 years before its limited release, this exceptional Talisker single malt is a monument to the rugged beauty of the Isle of Skye. Born from the distillery's unique five-still configuration and cooled in traditional wooden worm tubs, the spirit captures the untamed maritime essence of its coastal home. Over three and a half decades of quiet maturation in refill American and European oak casks, the fierce, peppery youth of the spirit has evolved into an incredibly complex tapestry of rich dried fruits, old leather, sea salt, and a gentle, warming peat smoke. It stands as a testament to the MacAskill brothers' legacy, who founded the distillery in 1830 despite the protests of local clergy, cementing Talisker's place in Scotch whisky lore.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Established in 1830 by brothers Hugh and Kenneth MacAskill, Talisker Distillery is located in Carbost on the Isle of Skye, Scotland (Carbost, Isle of Skye, IV47 8SR, United Kingdom; official website: https://www.malts.com/en-row/distilleries/talisker). As the oldest operating distillery on Skye, Talisker is world-renowned for its distinctive maritime character, combining intense peat smoke, sea salt, and a trademark fiery, black pepper finish. The distillery's unique five-still setup and traditional wooden worm tubs contribute to the oily, full-bodied texture of its spirit. Today, under Diageo's ownership, Talisker continues to produce highly coveted single malts, including its classic 10 Year Old, the elegant 18 Year Old, and exceptional older releases like the 25 Year Old and the rare Bodega Series.
