Talisker Single Malt Whisky (1980's Bottling) (75cl) 12 Year Old

Colour

Deep amber with copper-gold highlights.

Nose

Coastal peat and sea-salted smoke rise from the glass, with brine, iodine and kelp mingling with warm malt. Peppery spice cuts through caramel and vanilla, while hints of citrus zest and oak add lift. A mineral, maritime finish lingers, carrying Talisker’s windswept smoke and old-world depth.

Palate

Full-bodied and maritime, the palate unfolds with coastal smoke and sea-salt brine, a peppery bite of black pepper and chili, layered with roasted barley, citrus zest, and a touch of honeyed oak. Waves of smoky sweetness linger into a long finish of peat, salt, and iodine.

Finish

Long, maritime finish of sea-salt and peat smoke, with peppery warmth. Hints of honey and vanilla linger, while mineral brine fades into a soft ash, leaving a coastal, lingering impression.
