Description
The oldest working distillery on Skye, Talisker was founded 1830 by brothers Hugh and Kenneth MacAskill.
The Distillers Edition is a collection of master-craftsmanship. Each cask in the series is individually selected and perfectly matched to the character of each of the single malts refined here.
The two-parted maturation process gives more depth and complexity, which is the idea behind the limited Distillers Edition: preserving the perfection of the single malts that have already been awarded for their outstanding flavours.
The selected taste nuances are more strongly accentuated in a way that is not found in the regular bottlings, but with fully maintaining the original character of these fine single malts.
Slightly richer than the original bottling, the amoroso seasoned casks impart a wonderfully rounded and luscious, fruity sweetness that perfectly complement the crisp, dry peat-smoke and familiar pepperiness of Talisker.
Tasting Notes
Nose: A pungent nose with clean ozone-fresh sea-air and beach seaweed backed by richer, smokier notes, sweet malt and sultana sweetness from the cask; gloriously well combined and harmonious.
Palate: Richly weighted layers of spice, roasted fig and sweet date are sublimely underpinned by the revered maritime pettiness of Talisker.
Finish: Long, powerful and while still sweet, now drying too, with lingering peat smoke and cocoa nibs.
