Talisker Syke

Product Description 

Produced at the oldest distillery on the Isle of Skye, Talisker Single Malt Scotch Whisky has been made by the sea since 1830, with its smell and taste instantly connecting you to its rugged maritime home. Every sip is a taste of the Isle of Skye itself, one of the most remote, windswept yet beautiful landscapes in Scotland.

Highlights

• Talisker Skye pays tribute to the rich varied landscape of Isle of Skye – from soft, serene shores to the dark, jagged peaks of the Cuillin mountains. Talisker Skye brings with it a well-rounded and sweet flavour profile packed with fresh citrus, sweet smoke, peppery spice and traditional Talisker maritime notes. It's matured in a combination of refill and toasted American oak casks, with a slightly higher proportion of toasted casks.
• Talisker continues to support Parley with its partnership with the organisation by raising awareness on their important mission with a goal to protect and preserve and rewild 100 million square metres of marine ecosystems around the world by 2023.
• Single malt whisky.
• Island region.
• 70cl bottle size.
• 45.8% ABV.
