Background & production

A no-age-statement expression from Talisker on Skye, described as "more intense and smoky", with enhanced maritime notes balanced by Talisker's warm sweetness.

It combines mature Talisker mellowed in rejuvenated casks with fresher spirit from refill casks that keeps the distillery character. Bottled at Talisker's traditional 45.8%.
