Talisker Magma Single Malt Scotch Whisky 47 Year Old
In stock
Talisker 47 Year Old Magma is a rare, ultra-aged single malt born of Skye’s volcanic origins, released in an exceptionally limited run of just 622 bottles worldwide.
Embodying Talisker’s continued pursuit of discovery, this remarkable whisky was first matured in refill American oak hogsheads before being moved to new American oak casks toasted by the heat of volcanic rocks from the Isle of Skye, a method introduced with both Talisker Magma and Talisker Molten Seas. The result is an elemental balance of sweet smoke, salt, and spice, a profound expression of Talisker’s rugged coastal spirit.
The packaging takes inspiration from the powerful moment when molten lava meets the sea, with bold sculptural textures and fluid forms that capture the dramatic fusion of fire and water at the heart of Talisker’s character.
Talisker Magma 47 year old is a whisky of elemental contrasts, where sea and fire meet in perfect harmony. From its rich, polished copper hue to its deep, volcanic warmth, every sip reveals the power and poise of Skye’s wild landscape. Layers of sweet smoke, sea salt and mineral spice unfold with graceful intensity, capturing the moment when molten lava meets the ocean. This is Talisker at its most refined and expressive, a rare whisky shaped by nature and perfected by time.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Rich, polished copper with bright, clear amber tones. Fine beading even at this strength.
Nose
A mellow nose in feel, with a gentle hint of the classic Talisker chilli-pepper prickle. Distinctly mineral and maritime, led by wet rocks, dry edible seaweed, and salt crystals, backed by sweet Scottish toffee. Scented sandalwood and a trace of hessian follow, with a faint smoky note reminiscent of a distant bonfire. The smoke becomes more pronounced with water.
Palate
Creamy-smooth and silky in texture. Unusually mineral, intense, and lightly sweet, with a pinch of salt joining sweet Scottish toffee at the mid-palate. The warmth builds into an elemental spicy heat, spreading across the tongue like lava flowing from the earth’s core. Volcanic smoke and sweetness interweave, creating the signature Talisker balance. The chilli ‘catch’ at the back is smoother yet still present. Water reduces intensity and enhances the mineral note.
Finish
Long, spicy, and warming, with mouth-cooling notes of Sichuan chilli pepper. A long, glowing aftertaste — magnificent and enduring.
