Talisker Distillery is heavily influenced by its location on the Isle of Skye — it embodies the spirit of the rocky, storm-lashed island and its strong, steadfast people. The distillery was founded in 1830 by Hugh and Kenneth MacAskill, who leased the Talisker House from Clan MacLeod and eventually converted it into a distillery.
Talisker Single Malt Whisky is made from malted barley sourced from the Muir of Ord, a village in Highland, Scotland. The barley is lightly peated to approximately 18 phenol parts per million, which contributes a slightly smoky flavor profile to the whisky.
Once the barley has been malted and peated, it is mashed using soft water drawn from one of the 14 underground springs that rise from Hawk Hill.
After the barley has been mashed, it is fermented and twice distilled through Talisker’s copper-pot stills.
Talisker Distillers Edition is matured for ten years in used, American bourbon casks. After which the whisky is double-barreled, or finished, in Ex-Amoroso sherry casks. As a result, Talisker Distiller’s Edition boasts of strong dark fruit flavors which lead to a crisp, full body.
Notes: Smooth, full-bodied. Aromas and flavors of plum, berries, apricot, vanilla and smoke
Pairings: Pheasant, bison burger, chocolate souffle
Serving Suggestions: Neat
Region: Scotland
Alcohol Content: 45.8%
