Talisker, a Single Malt Scotch Whisky distillery founded in 1830 by brothers Hugh MacAskill of Eigg and Kenneth MacGaskill, is located on the shores of the Isle of Skye, Scotland, in one of the most remote and rugged landscapes. The distillery's name, derived from the old Norse "Thalas Gair," meaning "Sloping Rock," reflects its unique coastal setting. Talisker's distinctive character is attributed to the fresh water sourced from underground springs near the distillery, its two unique wash stills, and wooden worm tub condensers. With an unusual ABV of 45.8%, Talisker's aroma and flavor profile connect the drinker with its wild coastal heritage, making it a whisky for "wild spirits everywhere."
The Talisker Distillers Edition is a limited annual release that showcases the master craftsmanship of the distillery. Each cask in the series is carefully selected and matched to the unique character of the single malt, undergoing a two-part maturation process that imparts greater depth and complexity while preserving the original character of the whisky. This particular edition is first matured in Refill American and European Oak casks, followed by a second maturation in Amoroso seasoned heavily re-charred American Oak ends. The result is a slightly richer expression compared to the original bottling, with the Amoroso Seasoned Casks imparting a wonderfully rounded, luscious, and fruity sweetness that perfectly complements Talisker's signature crisp, dry peat-smoke and familiar pepperiness. The Distillers Editions have garnered international success and widespread acclaim, winning awards at major competitions, making them highly coveted by whisky enthusiasts, connoisseurs, and collectors alike. This flavorful and heavily limited edition is an ideal gift for any whisky lover or a perfect addition to your own collection, offering a unique opportunity to explore a new experience of a beloved brand.
