Talisker 8 Year Old Special Release 2024 Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 70cl
Product Details
Talisker Tidal Churn Single Malt Whisky, 70cl
For this 8-year-old expression, plunge into oceanic wilderness. A world of flavour lies beneath that signature maritime smoke. Experience the underlying notes unleashed by stone-spun casks. Like a tidal churn, the barrels’ original char layers are polished away by rocks and water, then lightly re-toasted, allowing fruity and vanilla characters to rise up freely. Selected from whiskies of rumbling smoke, underlying flavours pierce through. Waves of pear and apple emerge alongside blades of seaweed, pepper and spice.
Body
Medium to full.
Palate
Very smooth, mouth-filling and creamy in texture, with a powerful taste that is sweet at first and salty mid-palate.
Nose
A mellow nose in feel and dry overall. After a slow start, the first impression is fresh: faintly maritime, as with sea breezes, rockpools and oyster shells.
Finish
Lengthy, developing plenty of Talisker spiciness, with a Sichuan-pepper mouth-cooling effect in the aftertaste that increases with a dash of water.
