Talisker Distillers Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky

From the storm-lashed cliffs of Skye comes Talisker’s Distillers Edition—where raw sea spray, peat, and rich sherry sweetness collide. This special edition builds on Talisker’s signature pepper-and-salt character, then deepens it with a second maturation in Amoroso sherry-seasoned wood. The result? A dram that carries the sea’s brine, the hearth’s fire, and the wine-cask’s plush fruit in one glass. On the nose expect rugged smoke, sea-spray air, and toffee-fused malt; on the palate black pepper and charred cedar melt into sultana, dark chocolate, and sweet oak. Finish long, warming, smoky, with salted caramel and beach-drift wood. It’s a voyage. It’s Talisker.

Nose: Sea-air and driftwood smoke meet malt biscuit and sultana sweetness.

Palate: Pepper fire, charred cedar, dark chocolate, stewed fruit and honeyed oak.

Finish: Long and bold—salted caramel, fading peat embers, and lingering maritime spice.

Pair with smoked lamb chops or grilled seabass with sea salt to echo peat and brine. For dessert, dark chocolate with dried figs or orange-peel highlights the sherry fruit and chocolate notes. Aged Manchego or smoked cheddar delivers a savory contrast to the sweet-smoke tandem.
