The youngest among Diageo's special releases, Talisker 8yr old is one of eight single malt Scotch whiskies in Diageo's 2020 limited collection. So what's so unique about this single malt? It's aged in refill casks then finished in pot-still Caribbean rum casks giving it a peaty sweetness that is not found in many whiskies.
Crafted by master blender Dr. Craig Wilson, the theme for this year's collection is "Rare by Nature." Bottled at a natural cask strength of 57.9% abv, this pale gold whisky packs a fiery punch and has had limited availability, so if you're a fan order now, while it's still available.
Notes: Rich, full-bodied. Aromas and flavors of smoke, pineapple, and brown sugar
Pairings: Filet mignon, venison, roasted vegetables
Serving Suggestions: Neat or with a single ice cube
Region: Scotland
Alcohol Content: 57.9%
