About This Whisky
Talisker 18 Year Old is the older sibling of the familiar Talisker 10, a peated single malt from the Isle of Skye bottled at the distillery's standard 45.8% ABV.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Dried orange peel, plum and toffee, with sea air and a gentle thread of peat smoke.
- Palate: Smooth and full, with light smoke building to oily, aromatic spice and a touch of dried fruit.
- Finish: Peppery and lasting, with oak, leather and a salty, maritime edge.
Serving & Food
Serve in a Glencairn with a single drop of water. Skye oysters, seared scallops with black pudding or smoked cheese all work.
