Talisker Distillers Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700mL

A legendary expression from the only distillery on Skye. There’s near perfection in the bitter-sweet harmony which is such an enthralling feature of this truly classic whisky, as its crisp peat softens, not to pepper, but to rich, sweet, juicy fruit. The nose is extremely sharp and well-focussed; no lingering, rambling smoke but instead a wonderful sultana sweetness. On the palate the crisp peat softens to enormous richness, with sweet, roasty malt and a heathery dryness. Sherry replaces the usual pepper with luscious, oily sweetness. The finish displays deep cocoa notes, magnificent vanilla and lingering, earthy peat. Exemplary in balance between sweet and dry.
