Talisker Distillers Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 700ml

Product Information

The idea with the Distillers Edition Collection, which got started in 1997, is that it is, per Diageo, “an annual release of Classic Single Malts, each double-matured in a different type of cask wood chosen carefully by Master Blenders to complement the characteristics of the whisky. Using each distillery’s core offering as the base and underscoring the unparalleled craftsmanship and unmatched expertise required by world-class distillers and blenders, Distillers Edition bottlings complement each distillery’s traditional character while providing whisky adorers a chance to explore the dynamic flavor possibilities of these beloved distilleries.” Talisker 1998/2017 (56.6%, OB for Keepers Of The Quaich, cask #6829, refill sherry butt, 618 bottles) - by Angus - 040420 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.

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. With Water: A few drops of water dampen the peat, and release a fog of vanilla. I’d skip the water.

It is in the mouth that TALISKER proves to be a whisky from the Hebrides made from peated barley. Indeed, it brings first of all in power (in spite of its "45,8 %") a light peat which Records the default button state of the corresponding category & the status of CCPA.

All clear?

Talisker 31 yo 1988/2019 (51.4%, OB, Prima & Ultima, refill American oak cask, cask #5773, 721 bottles) - 100720 One of my favorite characteristics of Talisker is how punchy it is, and 57° North comes out swinging. With this non-age-statement release, it is more than simply the higher alcohol content that is intriguing. I found the flavor profile to be a further enhanced and amplified take on the Talisker 10 model. While there are some subtleties that get steamrolled in the process, this is a single malt that is just simply a load of fun. Score: 91/100 [ SHOP FOR A BOTTLE OF TALISKER 57° NORTH] Talisker 10 was one of those releases which just never left me after the first taste; I found myself craving its the distinctive flavor profile. In mixed company, the dram can be overpowered by more heavily peated single malts such as Laphroaig or Lagavulin. It would be a mistake to view the release as a lesser version of an Islay malt, however. Talisker has a unique identity which sets it apart as much as being the only distillery on Skye does. The price for a bottle is very reasonable, and paired with its quality, makes this release a must-have for my own collection. Score: 90/100 [ SHOP FOR A BOTTLE OF TALISKER 10] Tasting Notes: Talisker Distiller’s Edition If you’re after a more approachable whisky, the lighter Talisker Skye may soon be your new favourite, with softer, more mellow notes.
