Talisker Skye Single Malt Scotch Whisky is distilled in the oldest distillery on the Isle of Skye. The single malt is an ode to the contrasting landscape of the Isle of Skye, while its aroma and taste transport you straight to its rugged, maritime home. Talisker Skye delivers everything you would expect from a whisky from this distillery. It combines flavours of sweet smoke and peppery spice with notes of fresh citrus fruit to create a lively whisky experience that culminates in a long-lasting, warming finish. After distillation, this bottling is matured in American refill as well as charred oak casks. Talisker Skye is best enjoyed neat or with a little water to open up the intense flavour a little and cleanse the palate, in-between. The spirit is the brainchild of a multi-award-winning single malt whisky family and was awarded gold at the International Wine and Spirits Competition 2015 . It is the ideal whisky gift for adventurous free spirits looking for a good introduction to the smoky whiskies of the island.

Description

Produced at the oldest distillery on the Isle of Skye, Talisker Single Malt Scotch Whisky has been made by the sea since 1830, with its smell and taste instantly connecting you to its rugged maritime home. Every sip is a taste of the Isle of Skye itself, one of the most remote, windswept yet beautiful landscapes in Scotland. Talisker Skye pays tribute to the rich varied landscape of Isle Of Skye - from soft, serene shores to the dark, jagged peaks of the Cuillin mountains. Introduced in 2015, Talisker Skye brings with it a well-rounded and sweet flavour profile packed with fresh citrus, sweet smoke, peppery spice and traditional Talisker maritime notes. It's matured in a combination of refill and toasted American oak casks, with a slightly higher proportion of toasted casks. Talisker Skye takes the distillery's classically rugged character and softens it out, while maintaining the smoky and sweet notes the distillery is known for. Best served neat or with a little water. More approachable, but undeniably Talisker, it's the ideal gift for those looking to explore the smoky world of Single Malts.
