Description
Highlighting the latitudinal position of the distillery - one of the most remote and northerly at its rugged home on the Isle of Skye, Talisker 57° North has no age statement. Drawn from 100% American oak refill casks, it has a purity which emphasises Talisker's unique and intense distillery character.
WSD's Comment - Charred toffee and vanilla with a whack of peat and chilli coming through on the palate and in the finish.
Tasting Notes
Nose |
Distillery: Clean and intense, with light smoke like a struck match. Creamy toffee balanced by fruit. Hints of seaweed, heather blossom and vanilla. |
Taste |
Distillery: Sweet to start with smoke and tar exploding around the middle. At full strength and explosion that evokes the raw volcanic power that formed Skye's famous Black Cuillin mountains. |
Finish |
Distillery: Tingling with the signature pepperiness. |
