An independent bottling of single malt Scotch whisky from the Talisker distillery on the Isle of Skye, aged in a single refill hogshead for 8 years.
This was distilled in April 2008 and bottled in June 2016 with an outturn of just 151 bottles - excellent Island whisky for a chilly evening.
Nose: Milk chocolate with heavy vanilla influence, fresh orchard fruits and a generous whiff of peat.
Palate: Peat continues to develop more on the palate, growing slightly sweet and coastal. Sugared almonds and hazelnut cream.
Finish: Lingering smoke and golden, apples.
