Talisker 8 Year Old – Special Release 2024
Have you ever had a whisky aged in casks that had their char layers polished away by rocks and water? This eight-year-old expression of Talisker single malt, bottled for the Diageo Special Releases 2024, was finished in stone-spun and lightly re-toasted casks. Intriguing stuff, presented at 58.7% ABV.
Talisker 8 Year Old – Special Release 2024
Region: Island Whisky
Waves of pear and apple emerge alongside blades of seaweed, pepper and spice. Discover Talisker with surging elemental intensity and glorious dimension. Maritime smoke lingering on the tides.
Nose: Fresh, faintly maritime, with sea breezes, rockpools and oyster shells, on an earthy, mineral base with a hint of sphagnum moss. A little water develops the maritime notes and calms the spice.
Palate: Very smooth, mouth-filling and creamy in texture, with abundant peppery spice. Lightly drying overall, with a fruity hint of apple & pear. At reduced strength, the increased saltiness and minerality contrast beautifully with more controlled peppery spice.
Finish: Lengthy, developing plenty of Talisker spiciness, with a Sichuan-pepper mouth-cooling effect in the aftertaste that increases with a dash of water.
