Talisker 8 Year Old Special Releases 2020 Description
From a malt rich in maritime character, this adventurous release of Talisker is the first ever to be finished in pot-still Caribbean rum casks. They have enlivened the marine scents and peppery punch of this Skye distillery’s colourful character with the rich, dark and exotic sweetness of warmer climes. Delicious!
Part of the annual Diageo Special Releases 2020 range, this expression is highly-limited.

Hamish Says
Nose: light, with signature sweet and maritime notes forming the top layer; molasses and demerara sugar emerge from beneath and boast the rum cask influence.
Palate: initial soft and smooth texture, before the Talisker pepperiness takes over the palate; a touch of water will soften the rich sweetness.
Finish: long, hotly pepper and drying finish lingers on the tongue.
