Talisker 30 Year Old is an extremely rare, well-matured single malt bottled in strictly limited quantities. Three decades of purposeful, skilled ageing have nurtured and gently shaped this visceral whisky, created in celebration of the highest summit in Skye. In its lofty heights, the wild and untamed nature of this fascinating island is revealed in all its glory, and so Talisker 30 Year Old is also among the absolute best that Skye has to offer.
Tasting Notes
Finish: A lingering warmth, with a peppery and cinnamon tingle alongside notes of ripe fruit, roasted hazelnut and hint of vanilla.
Nose: Freshly cut orchard fruits, waxy red apples, fragrant white pepper, cinder toffee and a subtle creaminess. A fresh maritime breeze passes, alongside the growing presence of tropical fruits, coco nibs and a beach bonfire.
Palate: A warming smokiness on the palate, with a chilli pepper prickle, a gentle salinity, fading to reveal layers of apple and pear, smouldering embers, and notes of spicy oak.
