Talisker 8 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Venture into unexplored territory with Talisker 8 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky. This special release is the first ever to be finished in pot still Caribbean rum casks, enlivening Talisker's maritime, peppery character with the dark sweetness of warmer climes. It offers a sweet aroma of molasses balanced with sea salt and dried seaweed on a smoky barbecue base. Smooth and soft, this whisky's robust, salty-sweet taste is steadily outshined by the classic Talisker heat. The long, peppery and drying finish rounds off with sweet smoke. Bottled at natural cask strength, this extraordinary Talisker is best served in a traditional whisky glass with a little water to allow the finishing smoke to linger. Sitting amongst the Inner Hebridean Scottish Isles, Skye is rugged, windswept and a place of extremes. Our whisky captures the spirit of its island home perfectly. In 1825, Hugh MacAskill of Eigg acquired the Talisker House and along with his brother built what was to become one of the world’s most popular distilleries on the shore of Loch Harport. Now it is one of the oldest single malt Scotch whiskies made by the sea. Through fire, war and financial crises, this northern outpost has remained strong: producing consistently fine whiskies which, once tried, are rarely forgotten. Please drink responsibly.
