All Talisker expressions now have new packaging designs, predominantly blue with pictures of crashing waves and rocky shores.
Double matured, as are all of the range, with the finish being in Amoroso casks, a sweetened Oloroso sherry, adding some sweet and juicy fruit to Talisker smoke and maritime edge.
Talisker Distillery have the following to say - 'Richer than the regular bottling, this wonderfully rounded Distillers Edition double-matured in ex-Amoroso casks has a luscious, fruity sweetness that perfectly compliments the crisp, dry peat-smoke and familiar pepperiness of Talisker. Irresistible with rich, dark chocolate.'
A brilliant, pure and greatly valued compound of peat and full sweetness.
Please note bottle comes individually and without original packaging - price is reflective of this.
Nose: Smoke and spice with hints of bitter Seville orange marmalade and black pepper with a relatively oily nose.
Palate: Thick, rich fruit notes with a mix of marmalade and wood smoke combined with allspice, linseed oil, more black pepper and hints of dried herbs.
Finish: Long spicy with black pepper and butterscotch.
