Talisker Special Releases 2023 Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70cl

A combination of Ruby, White and Tawny Port pipes finishes this cask-strength expression, part of Diageo's 2023 Special Releases collection themed around 'Spirited Xchange', bringing together Talisker's rugged coastal character with the luscious sweetness of Portuguese fortified wine. Clear maritime notes of sea air carry hints of oyster shell, salt and sand dune on a spicy, peaty base, developing rich, sweet hints of white grape, dark fruit and dry tannin, merging in the mouth into one creamy-smooth, richly fruity taste where waves of saltiness, smoke and spice crash through an intense finish that embraces but never tames the classic Talisker character.
