A single malt that is both wild and elegant where the typical Talisker maritime aromas melt away to reveal fruity and peppery notes.  More info

The oldest distillery found on the Isle of Skye, the most northern island in the Inner Hebrides, Talisker creates whiskies with both wild and elegant flavours. Established in 1830, it uses water from 21 subterranean sources and malted barley from Glen Ord. Owned by Diageo, it has achieved fame in its own right thanks to its single malts that were in the Classic Malts Selection from the end of the 1980s.
Bottled in 2021, this new edition of the 25 year old Talisker has spent many years in bourbon barrels made from American and European oak. This golden whisky charms the senses with its salty notes of the sea that melt away to reveal notes of fruits and rose as well as smoky aromas. Smooth with an oily texture that allows the peppery hints typically found in Talisker to come through, as well as a slight smokiness that extends into the finish. These are soon joined by small forest fruits and a touch of chocolate. About 6,000 bottles have been produced.

Whisky Talisker Single Malt Scotch Aged 25 Years (70cl)serve at a temperature of 18°C. It will pair perfectly with the following dishes: Canard à l'orange, Cheddar, Tarte aux fruits.

Information about domain Talisker

Scotland, Isle of Skye. Distillery operational. Owner: Diageo

A leading single malt in the Six Classic Malts range first released in the late 1980s, Talisker was already well-known to fans of peated whisky. In the 1970s, the malt was found in an 8 year old version (45.8%) and a 12 year old version (43%). The 1980s saw the addition to the label of the famous dandy Johnnie Walker, who replaced the distillery's coat of arms which had been used up until this point (50s, 60s and 70s). A key supplier of malt to the blends Johhnie Walker, Te Beag, White Horse and Isle of Skye, Talisker was for many years limited to just two expressions, the Classic Malts and Distillers Edition. From 2001, however, bottlings became more common, allowing the vaults to release venerable versions aged for 20, 25, 30 and 35 years, culminating in 2016 with the release of a Talisker 40 Year Old in the Rare Malts Selection (45.7%) limited to just five bottles worldwide. It was the first and most likely the last, as, like Lagavulin, this edition of Talisker is unique in the history of the Rare Malts range.
