Talisker 18 Year Old, 700ml
Talisker 18 Year Old delivers fruit which cascades into never-ending peat, offering a new dimension to discover. Double distilled and matured in ex-bourbon and sherry casks.
With wonderful sweetness and warmth, intertwined with just a thread of smoke, Talisker 18 Year Old is an award-winning whisky that is rich and soft but still assertive.
Nose: Rich and fruity Victoria plums, greengages, perhaps dried orange peel with some butterscotch or rum toffee and a thread of smoke behind.
Palate: Sweet in front, then more assertive, with a whiff of smoke. The overall effect is warming. The development is towards smoke, coal-tar, and toffee. Intense layers of fruitiness and peat.
Finish: Medium length and chilli 'catch' in the finish.
