Talisker, Prima & Ultima Second Release

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.
