Talisker Distillers Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 700ml

Product Information

Experiment with a bottle of the smoky, slightly darker Talisker Storm or indulge in the cask aged Talisker 18 Year Old to experience the dram that was crowned Best Whisky in the World at the 2007 World Whisky awards. Also on offer for the connoisseurs out there is Talisker's Port Ruighe and Distiller's Edition , the latter of which is double-matured in Amoroso sherry casks for a deep, rich flavour.

Palate: Talisker’s signature briny peat hits the tongue first, evoking seaspray and driftwood campfires, and the taste of dried saltwater on your lips. This is immediately followed by a wave of jammy sherry, nougat, and grilled fruit (are grilled plums a thing?). I agree. The info on the DEs, if anything, is better than a simple age statement (distilled in/bottled in dates giving you both the age and the era/vintage of the product), but most of those who aren’t fussy about age statements aren’t usually holding out for better age info as opposed to simply embracing no age info (and/or confusing it with multivintaging) – producers included.

We do not sell, nor does the Service provide any option to buy, any alcoholic products. Talisker makes the best single malt Scotch whisky on the Isle of Skye, and I will take issue with anyone who says otherwise. Seeing as they are the only operational distillery on Skye, one could just as easily make the argument that they produce the worst single malt on the island. I suppose I am choosing to see my Glencairn glass as half full, at least in this case.

The Distiller’s Edition from Talisker features additional maturation in ex-oloroso sherry casks. Though each annual limited release does not feature a overt age statement, the distillation and bottling years are clearly presented on the label. The Distiller’s Edition is bottled at the same 45.8% ABV (91.6 proof) as Talisker 10 Year. Before going down the throat, the liquid will become more maritime and peppery to remind us once again that we have a TALISKER in the mouth.

Talisker 11 yo 'The Lustrous Creature of the Depths' (55.1%, OB, Special Releases 2022, Elusive Expressions) - 051022 I like Talisker. I like it a lot. And, uncharacteristically, I’ve not been totally against releases where they mess with that pure Talisker goodness with wine casks and whatnot. The Distillers Editions from Diageo typically take the big-budget action heroes of the Diageo lineup and then proceed to drown them in sweet wine. Sometimes this works. Sometimes not so much. Here, they take the standard Talisker (aged in ex-bourbon barrels) and finish it in amoroso sherry casks for somewhere around a year. My bottle was distilled in 2002 and bottled in 2013, which means (even without a big number on the front label) that it’s at least 10 years old. Whiskybase B.V.
