Talisker
The Talisker Distillery is located on Ilse of Skye, as the only one. Hugh and Kenneth MacAskill founded it in 1830, but had a rough start. They then acquired the lease of Talisker House from MacLeod, where the distillery was rebuilt in 1880-87 and extended in 1900. A fire burned down the distillery in 1960, and it was rebuild again, and is currently owned by Diageo. They market it as a part of their Classic Malt series, and it is sold as a premium whisky. The soft, peaty processed water Talisker use in their whisky is drawn from 21 underground springs that rises from Hawk Hill beside the distillery.
Talisker 10 Year Old
A classic Island dram from the Isle of Skye. Always highly rated, this was an Editor's Choice at Whisky Magazine. Lots of spice and fresh, tangy peat.
Tasting
Appearance: Brilliant gold. Nose: Powerful peat-smoke with sea-water saltiness, the liquor of fresh oysters, and a citrus sweetness. Body: Full. Palate: A rich dried-fruit sweetness with clouds of smoke and strong barley-malt flavours, warming and intense. Peppery at the back of the mouth. Finish: Huge, long, warming and peppery in the finish with an appetising sweetness.
Notes of seaweed, brine, carbolic soap, apple, smoke, kippers.
