Talisker 2009 Special Release Single Malt Scotch Whisky 30 Year Old · 1979 Vintage

Colour

Deep, burnished amber with coppery highlights and a hint of mahogany.

Nose

Sea-salted and lightly smoky, this Talisker reveals a maritime breeze with mineral brine and a hint of peat. Sherry-cask richness emerges as dark fig, dried plum, and cocoa mingle with toasted almond, vanilla and black pepper, while waxy oak and coastal warmth thread through to a lingering, refined finish.

Palate

Opulent and powerful on the palate, this 30-year Talisker coats the mouth with an oily, mouthfilling texture. Intense peat smoke threads briny sea salt and black pepper, while sherry cask maturation delivers dark fruit, raisins and cocoa. Oak resonance adds depth as a sweet-spicy core carries through the mid-palate. Finishes long and saline, with lingering coastal smoke and a warming, peppery glow.

Finish

Long and maritime, this finish unfurls with coastal peat and pepper, melting into rich sherry fruit. Dried fig, treacle and sea-salt shimmer before toasted oak and smoked cacao leave a warm, mineral echo that lingers gracefully on the palate.
