About
Talisker Skye 

An easy-drinking Talisker, taking the distillery's classically rugged character and softening it out, while maintaining the smoky and sweet notes the distillery is known for. More approachable, but still definitely Talisker.

Talisker 57 Degrees North

A distillery-bottled cask strength Talisker, 57° North is deceptively smooth for a whisky at this strength, but still a muscular presence on the palate, with the pepper and chilli Talisker hallmarks very much in evidence. Picked up the top prize in its category (Best Island No Age) at the World Whisky Awards 2012.

Tasting Notes
Talisker Skye 
  • Nose: Rich notes of stewed apple and pear with some treacle toffee and hint of marzipan. There’s some subdued smoke puffing away in the background along with cured meat and a touch of liquorice. Much more approachable than the 10yo.
  • Palate: Ah, this is Talisker, all right … there’s that trademark punch of black and pepper and smoke, accompanied by stone fruits and a rich, mouthfilling texture.
  • Finish: On the short side, with the smoke outlasting the fruit.
Talisker 57 Degrees North
Brilliant brassy gold. Opening sniffs detect a sweet, salty, maritime-style top note over granita biscuit, vanilla, chocolate, manuka honey and refreshing peppermint. After 3-4 minutes of air contact a dense blanket of sooty peat swamps the bouquet, followed by drier notes of white-pepper, kipper and dustings of cocoa. Immediately rich and warming in the mouth; entry features cream tea biscuits, then comes a flood of oily, peppery peat that fans out like a peacocks tail. Finish is vibrant, fresh, cough-lozenge like, tailing off with Fisherman's Friend, brine, lingering sweet malt and late lanolin in the aftertaste. Bracing yet beautifully balanced. Showcases Talisker's trademark salt'n'pepper profile to stupendous effect.

Oh hai!

It's good to see you. We thought after the sales extravaganza that was Black Yesterday, you might be taking a break from the shopping scene.

We're glad it's not the case. But we're contractually obliged to inform you that in just 48 hours it'll be Cyber Monday so if you want to bow out now in preparation, we understand.

No? Don't want to wait? Your heart set on discounted deals RIGHT NOW?

Well who are we to stand in the way of you and the checkout button. Upon assessment it's really counterproductive. Go forth and purchase.

We still expect to see you on Monday though.
