This single malt captures the wild mountains and powerful seas of the Isle of Skye in their natural form.  More info

Bottled in 2021, this limited edition has been brought back for the second time after its initial release in 2017. With an incredible elegance, this whisky captures the wild mountains and powerful seas of the Isle of Skye where Talisker has been a working distillery since 1830. It is produced using malted barley from Glen Ord and water from about twenty subterranean sources which move through the peaty soils of Hawk Hill.
This exceptional, amber single malt shows off its complex nose with its great finesse where notes of limes, orange zest, pepper and a smoky touch appear one after another. The sea-like characteristics, reminiscent of the spray from crashing waves, are well pronounced. Whisky lovers will discover an oily texture, typical of Talisker, on the palate which features grapefruit, tropical fruits, and spice flavours. The ever-present smokiness is very delicate before making way for iodised and extremely peppery notes. The finish, incredibly long and mouth-watering, is smooth, swaying between exotic fruits and hints of the ever-present saltiness. A magnificent whisky with 3,216 bottles produced.

Talisker 30 years 2021 release serve at a temperature of 18°C. It will pair perfectly with the following dishes: Glace à la noix de coco, Comté, Gambas grillés.

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.
