Talisker Taken 1984 is created with the final casks of that year, which were set aside and carefully guarded for decades owing to their tremendous potential. It forms part of the Prima & Ultima Third Release as one of eight exceptional releases. Expect delicate smoke mingling with warm sand and sun-dried seaweed. This is Talisker at its elemental best, capturing the wild, windswept character of Skye in a single, unforgettable whisky.

Nose

Mineral smoke, chalk, salt, seaweed

Palate

Sweetened malt, salt, pepper, peat smoke

Finish

Black pepper, green chilli, oak spice

A mineral and lightly smoky nose shows chalk, sea salt and sun-dried seaweed. The palate is silky with sweet malt balanced by salt and smoky pepper drying toward the close. The finish is long and warming with pepper heat and a soft chilli catch.
