Talisker Skye is a Single Malt Scotch Whisky that pays a tribute to the Isle of Skye and the sea that surrounds it. Antique gold color, the aroma of peat stands out on the nose, which then leaves room for notes of candied citrus, pepper, caramel, honey, dried fruit and salty hints. In the mouth the smoking fills the palate, enriched by intense spicy aromas, good minerality and a clean finish.
The history of the Talisker distillery begins as far back as 1830, founded by Hugh and Kenneth MacAskill on the Isle of Skye, in the Scottish Highlands in a landscape of verdant coasts and jagged rocky bays full of charm, bathed by the North Sea. Here we produce one of the single malts most appreciated by connoisseurs that the writer Louis Stevenson defined as “the best drink in the world”. The manufacturing process is very accurate, respectful of tradition, with a double distillation system. But the real success of this distillate is the raw material, that is the malt and spring water already rich in peat that flows from the undergrounds of “Cnoc-nan-speirag”, hawk hill in Gaelic. Hence the intense and peaty flavor that makes it a unique single malt and for “cultured” palates.
Talisker Skye is a Single Malt obtained from a blend of selected whiskys, of different ages, but of great structure that make it a significant label. An elegant, sumptuous whisky whose aging is affected by the sea breeze that we find in the sapid and mineral taste, which prefers strong palates. Ideal to be enjoyed with 90% extra-dark chocolate.
