Talisker 2013 Special Release Single Malt Scotch Whisky 27 Year Old · 1985 Vintage

Colour

Deep golden amber with sunlit honey undertones and coppery glints.

Nose

Coastal sea-air and brine unfurl with brisk peat and pepper, a maritime smoke that lingers. Iodine and mineral tides rise, while refill American oak lends subtle vanilla, honeyed citrus and toasted malt, weaving a refined, lingering maritime glow through the aroma.

Palate

Bold coastal smoke meets refined sweetness on the palate, with a velvet mouthfeel. Peppery warmth and sea-salt tang fuse with dark honey, vanilla and toasted oak. Refill American oak keeps the peat in check, revealing iodine, brine and mineral notes that carry into a long, warming finish where citrus zest lingers beside a smoky, maritime core.

Finish

Long, maritime finish of coastal smoke and iodine, layered with peppery spice. Salted caramel sweetness and mineral brine linger, slowly fading into a dry, ash-kissed ember that echoes Talisker’s signature seaside character.
