Talisker x Parley Wilder Seas Whisky 70cl

Description

Talisker x Parley Wilder Seas Whisky

Produced on the Isle of Skye in Scotland, the Talisker distillery is the only functional single malt whisky distillery to be found there. In fact, whisky has been made there by the sea since 1830.

Interesting Fact: Talisker has partnered with "Parley for the Oceans", to rewild more than 100 million square metres of ocean forest. With this limited edition bottling, Talisker "Wilder Seas", we invite wild spirits around the world to join us on our journey. Each 100% recycled bottle purchased represents a £3 donation to our joint cause to protect and preserve the oceans

Not only is Talisker x Parley "Wilder Seas" helping to rewild the oceans, it is also Taliskers first single malt scotch whisky finished in French Oak XO Cognac casks. This gives the whisky a mature and rounded expression, with a strength on the palate with a depth of taste, as well as interesting notes from the cask ageing. 

The golden amber colour of the whisky releases a rich aroma. Dried fruits and malt come through, with maritime notes of brine and salt crystals. Just a hint of tobacco comes forward, and if water is added a smokiness is released. 

On the palate this is exceptional smooth and creamy, with a richness full of flavour. It starts sweet, before releasing salt, smoke and interestingly fruits in the mid palate. Pepper and spice develop on the tongue. When water is added, it's sweetness is enhanced, with ripe figs and spice coming forward. 

The finish is long and warm. A late hit of pepper comes through and leaves a smoky fruitiness as an aftertaste.

Perfect Serve

We found that this was best enjoyed neat with a drop of water to bring the flavours out to the fullest. However, as with all whisky - enjoy however you like it!
