Talisker Decade Celebrating Friends Of The Classic Malts Single Malt Scotch Whisky 12 Year Old

Colour

Deep amber with copper-gold highlights and a burnished mahogany edge, a warm, sunlit hue that hints at sherried richness.

Nose

Salty sea air and coastal peat rise in a brisk, smoky perfume. Brine and iodine mingle with peppery malt, while sherry-influenced sweetness threads through dark dried fruits—figs and raisins—with orange zest. A warm, resinous oak echo carries the maritime finish, hinting at leather and cocoa.

Palate

Peat smoke and sea spray roll across the palate, braided with honeyed sweetness and citrus rind. Pepper sparks the tongue, while a whisper of vanilla oak adds warmth and depth, leaving a long, briny, maritime finish.

Finish

Long maritime finish of peat smoke, sea-salt tang and mineral depth. A peppery warmth lingers, slowly softening to subtle sweetness as coastal smoke fades, leaving a persistent briny glow on the palate.
