Talisker 25 Year Old Scotch Whisky

Delicious, appetisingly dry and fully mature. This beautifully orchestrated variation of Talisker has a lingering finish which cannot outstay its welcome.

Region

Something both gentle and deep from the Isle of Skye.

Appearance: Warm gold.

Nose: Unreduced, a quiet nose, not hugely assertive, yet quite maritime. Fresh ships varnish. Faint nose prickle. Spicy, briny, with distant smoke.

Body: Smooth and firm in body.

Palate: At bottled strength, a gentle start, immediately building in intensity. Slow and sweet, then kicks in peppery and hot, with significant balancing bitterness and salt, and a little smoke.

Finish: Long, warming, slightly bitter and very drying, with a little smokiness.
