Talisker Skye, a maritime malt distilled on the picturesque Isle of Skye, captures the essence of its surroundings. It evokes the salty sea breeze, the gentle smoke of the sea, and the earthy notes of seaweed, creating a whisky that is both soft and sweet, with a subtle smoky character and a touch of spice. Although this expression lacks an age statement, it is undoubtedly worth exploring as a more refined introduction to Talisker, offering a nuanced experience that surpasses the 10-year-old expression.
Available in a 700ml bottle, at 45.8% abv.
