Talisker The Distiller's Edition 2023 Double Matured in Amoroso Seasoned American Oak Casks
Experience the tale told by the tides with a swig of Talisker Distiller's Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky. First matured in refill American Oak & European Oak casks and finished in Amoroso-seasoned, re-charred American Oak casks with heavily re-charred new AO ends, the whisky starts with the scent of fresh sea air and seaweed. The taste is smoky and briny yet sweet with rich fruit, balanced with a woody pepper taste, notes of roasted fig, sweet date, and smoky sea salt, followed by a dry, peat smoke and cocoa nib finish. Distilled by the sea on the shores of the Isle of Skye in Scotland, centuries of local distilling tradition and the rugged environment are what make our whisky so unique. Simply mix with vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, ground peppercorn, Tabasco sauce, salt, mixed vegetables and tomato juice for a Scotch whisky take on the Bloody Mary.
