Talisker 2017 Distillers Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky 10 Year Old · 2007 Vintage
Out of stock
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, rugged, yet beautiful landscapes in Scotland.
The Talisker Distillers Edition, an annual release that is double matured for up to 6 months in ex Amoroso Sherry casks, achieves near perfection in the bitter-sweet harmony of this classic whisky, as its crisp peat softens, not to pepper, but to rich, sweet, juicy fruit. Overall, an extremely sharp and well-focused Single Malt Whisky with no lingering or rambling smoke but instead a wonderful sultana sweetness.
Each full-bodied rich sip gives way to a palate of crisp peat that softens to enormous richness, with sweet, roasty malt and a heathery dryness. Notes of sherry replace the usual pepper with luscious, oily sweetness. Its finish boasts deep cocoa notes, magnificent vanilla and lingering, earthy peat. Exemplary in balance between sweet and dry.
This rich Talisker Distiller's Edition is delicious over ice or with a drop of water. An older, richer and sweeter expression that makes a fantastic gift for lovers of Talisker and smoky island single malt whiskies.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with shimmering copper-gold highlights and a mahogany edge.
Nose
Maritime brine and brisk peat open to a luscious sherried sweetness, as sultana and dried raisin rise from the glass. Rich notes of toffee, vanilla and a hint of cocoa mingle with warm, oily fruit, while a coastal smokiness threads through—polished, precise and irresistibly inviting.
Palate
Full-bodied and richly textured, the palate opens with crisp peat that softens into luscious sherried sweetness. Roasty malt with sultana-like fruit supports a velvety, oily sweetness, while heathery dryness and vanilla–cocoa notes weave into a lingering, earthy peat finish.
Finish
Deep cocoa notes and vanilla linger, carried by earthy peat. The sherry influence rounds the palate with a subtle sweetness, leaving a long, refined dryness and a warming, maritime finish.
