Tasting Notes

Colour

Deep amber with burnished copper highlights and a warm honey-gold glow.

Nose

Sea-kissed peat sits alongside refined sherry richness on the nose: maritime brine and iodine mingle with dark fruit—fig and raisin—spiced with ginger and clove, complemented by tobacco and toasted oak. A velvet sweetness hints at cocoa and leather, revealing the 24-year maturation as the smoke recedes into elegant, measured depth.

Palate

On the palate, polished coastal peat and sea-salt smoke weave with sweet malt. Dried fig and raisin fuse with dark chocolate, orange zest, and toasted oak, unveiling depth and refinement. A peppery spine and maritime minerals carry to a long, elegant finish.

Finish

Long, maritime finish with resonant peat smoke and sea-salt brine. A peppery warmth builds, then dries to mineral coastal notes, leaving a refined sweetness and a lingering, ember-soft afterglow.

Talisker
(TAL-iss-ker) Talisker was founded in 1830 by Hugh and Kenneth MacAskill in Carbost on the shores of Loch Harport, and it remains the oldest working distillery on the Isle of Skye. Its history includes a major stillhouse fire in 1960, after which the distillery was rebuilt with exact replicas of the original stills to preserve its character, and it now forms part of Diageo’s malt whisky portfolio.
