This Talisker formed part of Diageo's Special Releases 2021 as one of eight bottles of unusual origins. This was the first Talisker ever finished in Caribbean rum casks, marking a new point on the distillery's flavor map. This added a burst of juicy sweetness to Talisker's usual coastal and lightly peated style.
Nose
Menthol notes, seaweed, brine
Palate
Peat smoke, salt, walnuts, umami
Finish
Smoke, brine, pears, white pepper
The Talisker signature is immediate: menthol, seaweed and brine. The palate is full throttled peat and salt, bold and direct. The finish hangs on with smoke, brine, pears and pepper. Straightforward but very effective.
