One word, WOW! A must have for any Talisker fan!
Talisker 18 Year Old is a single malt masterpiece.
It makes a perfect gift for connoisseurs looking to explore new depths of flavour amongst smoky island single malt whiskies. Delivers fruit which cascades into never-ending peat, offering a new dimension to discover.
Adding water to the Talisker 18 year old brings out the Talisker of old - seaweed, smoke, low level peat.
Nose: Rich and fruity – Victoria plums, greengages, perhaps dried orange peel with some butterscotch or rum toffee and a thread of smoke behind. The smoke soon advances into the foreground and the toffee note is joined by a light mint tone.
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.
Finish: Medium length. Talisker’s characteristic chilli ‘catch’ in the finish is subtly present in the aftertaste.
