Talisker Distillers Edition
The Talisker Distillers Edition, an annual release that is double matured for up to 6 months in ex-amoroso sherry casks, achieves bitter-sweet harmony as its crisp peat softens, not to pepper, but to rich, sweet, juicy fruit. An older, richer and sweeter expression that makes a fantastic gift for whisky connoisseurs and lovers of the Talisker family of smoky island single malt whiskies. Talisker Single Malt Scotch Whisky Distillers Edition 2020 distilled in 2007, bottled in 2017.

Nose: Wafts of sweet, roasted malt, wood and pepper.
Palate: On the palate crisp peat softens to enormous richness, leaving a heathland dryness, with luscious, slightly oily sweetness; ripe, juicy fruit.
Finish: To finish with flavours of deep cocoa, vanilla and lingering, earthy peat. Very engaging; great sweet-dry balance, led by sweetness.

Part of the Edrington Group family of brands.
|
Nose: Rich vanilla cream sweetness with light wisps of smoke and an earthy dark chocolate sweetness.
Palate: Initially a rich combination of dried fruit and citrus and slowly this rolls into a rich peat smoke. It is a wonderful contrast, it is almost as if the whisky comes in two parts allowing an insight to the flavour before being enveloped in sweet peat notes. The light elements of smoked dried fruits and an almondy nuttiness makes it feel almost chewy.
Finish: Long sweet dried fruit with a lengthy sweet peat flavour.
