Talisker 10 year old, the Golden Spirit of Skye, is a turbulent Gaelic malt ; the only single malt from a spectacularly beautiful island of wild moorlands and dramatic mountain peaks.
The oldest working distillery (built by the MacAskill family in 1830) on the Isle of Skye, Talisker is set on the shores of Loch Harport with dramatic views of the Cuillins. Producing an alluring, sweet, full-bodied single malt is so easy to enjoy, and like Skye itself, so hard to leave.
Sip Talisker and savour the bold marine influences of the Island of Skye. The Talisker 10 year old malt gives an excellent example of the ‘seaweedy’ flavours found in the island malts.
DISTILLERS NOTES
Talisker 10 Year Old, the stalwart of the Talisker family, is a powerful Single Malt Whisky, with a sea-salty nose, spicy complexity, smoky-sweet character and signature peppery finish. It is double distilled to create a rich, deep character embodying the maritime characteristics of a coastal whisky, and then aged for a minimum of 10 years in American oak casks. Every sip is a taste of the Isle of Skye itself, one of the most remote, windswept yet beautiful landscapes in Scotland.
