Talisker Skye Island Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Volume: 700ml      ABV: 45.8%      Age: No Age Statement      Country: Scotland

Talisker distillery is an Island single malt Scotch whisky distillery based in Carbost, Scotland on the Isle of Skye. This Scottish West Coast distillery is operated by Diageo who also own distilleries such as Lagavulin, Cardhu, Cragganmore, Mortlach and many more. The distillery was founded in 1830 but rebuilt in 1880. The malted barley used in production comes from Muir of Ord and Talisker has an unusual feature, swan neck lye pipes. A loop in the pipes takes the vapour from the stills to the worm tubs so some of the alcohol already condenses before it reaches the cooler. It then runs back into the stills and is distilled again. Talisker now has an output of three and a half million litres of spirit per annum.

First released in 2015 to celebrate the island on which the distillery is located. The Talisker Skye is matured in a combination of refill and toasted American oak casks which were previously used to matured bourbon whiskey. More of the toasted casks were used to create a whisky that has more spice and vibrancy. Bottled at a traditional 48.5% abv and un-chillfiltered.
