Talisker Skye Whisky 70cl
An easy drinking Whisky from Talisker, named after the Island the distillery can be found on
Description
Talisker Skye Whisky
Produced on the Isle of Skye in Scotland, the Talisker distillery is the only functional single malt whisky distillery to be found there.
Released in 2015, and named after the Island on which the distillery is located, Talisker's Skye whisky is an easier drink than the classic Talisker. It takes the classic rugged notes found in Talisker whiskies, softening them.
On the nose this has the typical Talisker aroma, with smokiness and salty notes which are reminiscent of the Isle of Skye. A hint of toffee and vanilla comes through from the oak barrel aging.
As mentioned, on the pallet this is a smoother, less rugged drink than the classic 10yr. The smoke and salt come through, a hint of peat as well as a little sweetness - and it wouldn't be a Talisker without the classic black pepper. It has a fulfilling mouthfeel to it, and a little hint of rich stewed fruits.
The finish is a little shorter than some of the other Taliskers, with the smokiness remaining through to the end.

Perfect Serve
Whist this has a degree of peatiness to it, its an easy drink - so we would recommend this one is enjoyed on its own. If adding ice or water, we'd suggest a single cube, or a small splash of water.
