Talisker Distiller Edition 700ml
A distillery that has garnered quite a following due to it's consistent high quality, Talisker crafts a lightly peated single malt with maritime and peppery notes amongst it's sweetness. The Distiller's Edition has been matured in refill American and European oak casks before a finishing period in Amoroso sherry casks, which contribute layers of dark fruit notes to create a dram that's well balanced yet rich. The Diageo Distiller's Editions are now an ongoing part of the range without a vintage year.
Official Tasting Notes
Nose – A pungent nose with clean ozone-fresh sea-air and beach seaweed backed by richer, smokier notes, sweet malt and sultana sweetness from the cask; gloriously well combined and harmonious.
Palate – An oily-smooth texture, the taste at once smoky and briny yet sweet with rich fruit too, quickly growing more peppery, as woody spiciness takes a clear interest. Luxurious suggestions of roasted fig and sweet date are firmly backed throughout by peat smoke and sea-salt, and there’s a smoothness to the chili ‘catch’ as it goes down.
Finish – Long, powerful and while still sweet, now drying too, with lingering peat smoke and cocoa nibs.
ABV: 45.8%
