Talisker 40 Year Old

This Island single malt is the oldest expression released commercially to date from the Talisker distillery on the Isle of Skye. Distilled in 1978, this limited edition has been aged in refill American oak barrels before being finished in 40 year old amontillado sherry casks from Delgado Zuleta, one of Jerez’s oldest sherry producers, in homage to the type of whisky that would have been produced at the distillery in the early 20th century.The first release in the Bodega Series, just 2,000 bottles of this 40 year old have been produced at a strength of 50% abv. Described as ‘a deep, crystal gold liquid’, the palate offers white grape and sultanas, alongside Talisker’s characteristic sea salt and smoke.
