Selected from the last four 1979 refill American oak hogsheads in Talisker’s No. 4 warehouse, this single malt embodies the distillery’s maritime soul. Positioned closest to the Atlantic, the casks matured amidst salt spray, shifting dampness, and Skye’s tempestuous climate, shaping a whisky of rugged elegance.

Nose

Seaweed, sea salt, peat smoke

Palate

Tropical fruits, peat smoke, salt, black pepper

Finish

Warm, green chilli, linseed oil

Coastal aromas stand out first with kelp, salt and warm sand, laced with gentle smoke. The palate is smooth, slightly oily and sweet before smoke returns with a peppery lift. The finish is warm with a hint of chilli and soft linseed oil.
