Talisker 11 Years Old Special Release 2022 70cl 55.1°
As has been the case since 2018, the Diageo Special Release collection once again includes a Talisker bottling in its selection.
After a first maturation in ex-bourbon barrels of first filling, this 11-year-old Talisker benefited from a second ageing, this time in wine barrels before being bottled brut de cask.
The flavours of this Single Malt oscillate between land and sea: a maritime storm that washes up on the shores of Loch Harport from which rises the smoke of a quiet bonfire. Salty and smoky notes mingle with more spicy and fruity flavours on an oily texture before the peat awakens in an ethereal finish.
A contrast that inspires the illustration of this bottle, with a luminescent creature transported from the dark depths of the sea by choppy currents.

A few miles away from the west coast of the Highlands sits the Isle of Skye, with its rugged coastline and windswept peat lands.
The small coastal town of Carboast, on the shores of Loch Harport and on the foothills of the Cuillins, is nestled in a region battered by the winds and sea breeze, Talisker. This is where the only one distillery of the island chose to settle – one of the most prestigious and isolated of all.
Back in 1825, Hugh and Kenneth Mac Askill decided to establish themselves on the Isle of Skye. They quickly grew fond of their adoptive region, and rented a plot in Carbost to build, in 1830, the Talisker distillery. Laden with salt, lava and peat, the distillery bottles exceptional Single Malts, known for their spicy, powerful character.
Because of the unique character and quality of Talisker whiskies, the distillery features in the Classic Malts Selection. Created more than 20 years ago, this selection recognises Single Malts crafted in the tradition of iconic distilleries, and offers the most impressive whisky styles Scotland has to offer.
