Talisker Distillery Exclusive (2019 Release), 48%
Price: ● Issue: Spring 2020 ● Reviewer: Gavin Smith ● Category: Single Malt Scotch
Initial maturation of this expression took place in refill casks, followed by heavily charred American oak hogsheads, and finally European oak puncheons. The nose is relatively light, fruit-forward, slightly floral, spicy, and mildly ashy. Citrus fruits and sweet peat smoke on the palate, with fruit and oak spices. Orchard fruits in the finish, with just a hint of classic Talisker pepper. (6,000 bottles; distillery only) (£95)
