To translate that, each of these starts with an off-the-shelf spirit like Lagavulin 16, then finishes it further in a unique cask type for an unstated length of time. All clear? Nose: It smells of sweet peat. The nose is a combination of caramel, petrichor, and a faint smoke like a distant campfire.

It has marketed the brand as part of its Classic Malts range in 1988. Talisker has been a welcome addition to this established series ever since, despite the fact that the distillery itself is pretty unusual. Talisker Distillery has the strange distinction of housing an odd number of wash stills to spirit stills, counting two wash stills and three spirit stills in total. The third spirit still is a remnant from an era in which Talisker used to produce triple distilled malt whisky, which was stopped in 1928, and the extra spirit still was simply never removed or decommissioned.

Whiskybase B.V. is the Dutch private limited liability company, having its statutory seat in Rotterdam, The Netherlands and its office at Zwaanshals 530, 3035 KS Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Whiskybase B.V. is registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce under no. 52072819. It's a Talisker 10 with a sweet layer that mutes the peat and pepper a bit. It's much better than I remember the distillery edition from 2015, contrary to that edition the sweetness provided by the Amoroso sherry casks is well integrated now. This one scores a solid 88, the old one 86 points.The 2021 Talisker The Distillers Edition is double matured in American oak and ex-Amoroso Sherry casks. Amoroso sherry is a style made by adding some Pedro Xerminez to Oloroso sherry . This is a dark full bodied style that normally has notes of dried fruit, caramel, and nuts. Oloroso is aged at a higher proof to keep flor from forming. Flor is a layer of yeast that can form during fermentation and aging. Oloroso has a high glycerol content that allows it to be perceived as sweeter, even though it is naturally dry. Talisker Distiller’s Edition 2014 Single Malt Scotch Whisky was distilled in 2003 and matured for ten years in used, American bourbon casks, then it was double-barreled, or finished, in casks that were previously used to mature Amoroso sherry, which give it that nice dark chocolate salty sweetness.
