About

Talisker is a distillery of Scottish whisky, based in Carbost, on the Hebridean island of Skye. The distillery was founded in 1780 by the MacAskill brothers. It is currently owned by Diageo. Talisker uses malt that is heavily peated for non-Islay single malt standards, which results in a full and distinct flavour. Some of the most popular and well-known expressions are Talisker 10 Year Old, Talisker 25 Year Old, Talisker 57 North and Talisker Storm.

Color: Amber

General description

ash, pepper, a hint of salt and some brown sugar notes. The rum finish is adding even more sweetness and works really well with this maritime malt. Way to expensive but the taste is verrrry good.
