Talisker 15 Year Old 2019 Edition
This is the first ever release of "the king of drinks" as a 15 year old whisky matured only in freshly charred American oak hogsheads. They have imbued the sweetness, depth of taste and complexity of the mature distillery character with a fresh intensity.
The aroma is maritime, with notes of sea salt, dry seaweed, peeling boat varnish and warm sand, on a base of smouldering peat. The texture is smooth, the taste unexpectedly rich and sweet before a growing spiciness come through, with a pinch of salt and chilli pepper. The finish is long, spicy and drying.
