The Mellow Talisker.
Talisker distillery was founded in 1830 by Hugh and Kenneth MacAskil at Carbost, on the the Isle of Skye. In all these years Talisker's distillation method has remained virtually the same, refusing to go with the flow of the industry, other than with the necessary health and safety improvements. As the only distillery on the Isle of Skye, Talisker's drams are quite idiosyncratic, defining an Island malt style that is their very own.
Talisker Skye, named after the island on which the distillery is situated, takes the typically heavily peated and sweet currents of Talisker and mellows them out. It was released in early 2015 and has been matured in American and toasted oak casks. While the obvious Talisker traits are still there, this is a good malt to use as an introduction to some of the distillery’s more heavily peated options.
Smell / Nose / Aroma
Soft tones of Talisker’s signature smoke, has spicy, peated qualities and rich citrus notes that boast fresh lemons and oranges.
Flavour / Taste / Palate
Citruses burst open to compliment the peppery smoke that still lingers.
Finish
Sweetness left from the citrus with hints of peppery spices."
