Talisker released about 60, bottles worldwide for this occasion and though it is pretty rare to find on the shelves the bottles, it is worth keeping your eye out in dusty spirits shops and great whiskey bars. Nose: Greeting you with a golden amber hue appearance, the nose begins with mellow toffee notes and ends with a bit of vegetation most notably of yellow bell peppers. On the finish.
Talisker Distillery is heavily influenced by its location on the Isle of Skye — it embodies the spirit of the rocky, storm-lashed island and its strong, steadfast people.

And in the meantime, if you can still find it, make sure you enjoy this one. Yep, Talisker th Anniversary is a real treat! For those of us who score more generously than does Mark, this is more of a 95 point whisky.
This is the only Talisker which I have tasted which rivals or betters the 18 yo and an "in the optimal zone of flavour" sample of 57 Degrees North. Talisker distillery is the only distillery on the Isle of Skye and was founded in by Hugh and Kenneth MacAskill, sons of the local doctor. It was rebuilt between and , and was extended in In the distillery was acquired by the Distillers Company Ltd and today is part of Diageo.
In the stills were converted to steam heating and the maltings floor was demolished. Apparently some of the oldest component malts used are from the mid ies, while the youngest are at least ten years old. The nose is surprisingly fresh and sweet. Apricot and caramel flavours are most prominent, followed by hints of prunes and fudge.
Soft smoke lingers in the background. A very delicate and refined nose! The palate is medium-bodied, smooth and almost silky on the tongue. Apricots and caramel flavours are back, together with lemons and oranges.
Smoke is barely detectable and mingles with notes of apple and ginger. The finish is of medium length and fruity. The soft smoke is still there, and a faint tannic dryness rounds this off. This is an unusual Talisker, very delicate and without the ubiquitous chili kick. It is very well balanced and very, very drinkable. Good to know that the guys at the distillery can also produce malt of this kind.
This expression put the distillery back on the map for me — well done! Shop Join. Join Sign in.
