Cask Strength Distillery Bottling

This is IT, this is the Talisker to end all Talisker's. We don't think we've ever read a bad review about this Whisky from anyone, anywhere, with some people saying that sampling it is an emotional experience. This may quite possibly be one of the very best Whiskes to ever be bottled in the 20th century?

Bottled at a massive 62% ABV

95 points Jim Murray's Whisky Bible

"I have been tasting Talisker for 28 years, this is the best bottling ever. Miss this and your life will be incomplete."

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.
