DESCRIPTION

Released in early 2015, Talisker Skye is named after the Isle the distillery is located. The whisky is aged in a combination of toasted and refill American oak and is bottled at 91.6, a signature proof for Talisker.
An easy-drinking Talisker, taking the distillery's classically rugged character and softening it out, while maintaining the smoky and sweet notes the distillery is known for. More approachable, but still definitely Talisker.

NOSE:
Sweet stuff, toffees and vanilla ice cream up front, almost grain-like. Becomes increasingly honeyed. There's a little coastal influence here too, just hints of a sweet Caol Ila perhaps, with very restrained smoke.

TASTE:
Honeyed toasted oak, sappy wood, only a little pepper and smoke, apple turnovers and hints of lemon and lime Opal Fruits. Fennel seeds.

FINISH:
Drying and slightly less sweet, hints of spice and smoke.

ABV: 45.8%
