A single malt with pronounced maritime flavours reminiscent of the wild landscape found on the Isle of Skye. More info
Distilled in 2012, this eight year old whisky is part of the 2021 Special Releases made by Diageo showcasing the Talisker single malts. Aged for eight years in barrels that once contained very peaty whiskies, it was bottled at cask strength, at 59.7%, without added colouring or chill-filtration. Its pronounced maritime flavours, typically found in whiskies made by this Isle of Skye distillery, are reinforced by its embellished label with a sea monster rising from the waves.
With a splendid elegance, this single malt combines notes of ocean spray and iodine, of smoked peat and vanilla with biscuit aromas. A hint of fruitiness completes the aromas while honey, yellow fruits and a peppery dash, so typical of Talisker, can be found on the palate with an ever-present smokiness. The finish, long and warming, is laden with spices. A Scottish whisky with a well-tempered character.
Talisker Single Malt Scotch Aged 8 Years Special Release 2021 serve at a temperature of 18°C. It will pair perfectly with the following dishes: Sashimi, Huîtres, Crème catalane.

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.
