talisker distiller’s edition

There’s near perfection in the bitter-sweet harmony which is such an enthralling feature of this truly classic whisky, as its crisp peat softens, not to pepper, but to rich, sweet, juicy fruit.TASTING NOTESCOLOR - Chestnut brown.NOSE - Extremely sharp and well-focused; no lingering, rambling smoke but instead a wonderful sultana sweetness.PALATE - Crisp peat softens to enormous richness, with sweet, roasty malt and a heathery dryness. Sherry replaces the usual pepper with luscious, oily sweetness.FINISH - Deep cocoa notes, magnificent vanilla and lingering, earthy peat. Exemplary in balance between sweet and dry.BODY - Full bodied, clean yet rich.AWARDS & ACCOLADES• 2014 - Double Gold, San Francisco World Spirits Competition• 2014 - Silver, International Spirits Challenge• 2014 - Silver, The Scotch Whisky Masters• 2011 - Silver, International Spirits Challenge
