Launched in early 2015, Talisker Skye whisky pays homage to the stunning Isle of Skye, home to the renowned distillery. This expression presents a harmonious and sweet flavour profile, featuring vibrant citrus, sweet smoke, peppery spice, and the distinctive maritime notes typical of Talisker whiskies.
Maturing in a combination of refill and toasted American oak casks, with a higher proportion of toasted casks, Talisker Skye offers a balanced alternative for those who may find the classic Talisker flavour profile a touch intense. However, Talisker enthusiasts will also appreciate the nuanced charm of this expression. Explore the allure of Talisker Skye – a whisky that encapsulates the essence of its picturesque island home.
On the nose, sweet toffees and creamy vanilla ice cream, reminiscent of grains. As it develops, a delightful honeyed character emerges, accompanied by subtle coastal influences akin to a sweet Caol Ila whisky, with just a whisper of smoke.
The palate - honeyed toasted oak and woody notes, with a touch of pepper and smoke, reminiscent of freshly baked apple turnovers.
The finish is drying with a gentle reduction in sweetness, accompanied by hints of spice and smoke.
