Talisker Whisky Skye Single Malt 0.7L

Launched in 2015, Talisker Skye Whisky is an Island Single Malt Scotch produced on the Isle of Skye, a land marked by breathtaking, rugged landscapes to which the historic distillery explicitly pays homage with this bottle. The latest addition to the renowned Talisker, which in a couple of years has completed a redesign of its best-selling products, the Talisker Skye Single Malt, with no age restriction, has replaced the Talisker 10 Year Old. Produced in large quantities and suitable for strong palates, it is a peaty Scotch and distinctly spicy in perfect Talisker style. The only active distillery on the Isle of Skye, Talisker has employed triple distillation using the Irish method since 1928, a process that produces a smoother whisky. On the wild Isle of Skye, populated by eagles and otters, peat thrives, used by the inhabitants as a fossil fuel and to smoke the local salmon as well as the malt from which the Talisker Skye Single Malt is made. Moreover, the water from the infiltrated saltwater spring flows over the peat, which gives the whisky an additional smokiness. The trademark of Talisker Skye is undoubtedly its pungent salty flavour, and it couldn't be otherwise since the aging is strongly influenced by the sea breeze. The years of aging are not defined, but it is certain that the maturation takes place in toasted American oak casks and, to a lesser extent, in refill casks (casks used for the second time).
