The oldest official bottling from Talisker distillery on Skye, this 1978 vintage has been matured in American oak barrels before a period of finishing in 40 year old Amontillado sherry casks from one of the oldest bodegas in Jerez, Spain. The first in The Bodega Series of cask-finished releases, this method of finishing harks back to the way Talisker would have been made at the beginning of the 20th century.

Talisker 40 Year Old Description
Hamish Says...
Our Hamish has had a sip and jotted down his thoughts.
Nose: rich raisins and peat with a sweet, fruity smoke.
Palate: waves of fruit and sweet sultanas from the sherry casks, with the sea spray and smokiness that Talisker is famed for.
Finish: smooth and sweet with a touch of pepper.
