Talisker Skye
(0.7l, 45.8%)
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.

Ratings & Reviews
Ben,
Smooth with a caramely flavour. Followed with a slightly sharp but sweet, almost spicy undertone. Woody. With a bit of smokyness.
Clark,
I like it quite a lot, my wife says more peppery than smoky, I thought smoky. We both agree is numbs the tongue, and sort of dulls the other flavors. Of course, this review is based on the fifth of five different whisky's we tasted tonight... This is the second bottle I purchased, so I liked it enough to rebuy. But, in the future I will probably buy the Caol Ila 12 year again before this one.
Matthew,
A solid entry level scotch. Got a liter in dufree while traveling. Good value for the cost.
Romain,
Will always work as a simple Whisky for a large family meal.
Ryan,
A bit too much spice for my liking. It left a lingering heat at the back of my throat.
