8 Year Old "Tidal Churn" Special Release

The aroma is fresh and faintly maritime, featuring sea breezes, rockpools, and oyster shells on an earthy, mineral base, complemented by a hint of sphagnum moss.

On the palate, the whisky is very smooth, mouth-filling, and creamy in texture. It begins sweet, then transitions to a salty mid-palate, with notes of apple, pear, and a distinctive mineral character.

The finish is lengthy, developing plenty of Talisker spiciness, with a Sichuan-pepper mouth-cooling effect in the aftertaste that intensifies with a dash of water.

Talisker Distillery, established in 1830, is the oldest working distillery on the Isle of Skye, Scotland. Located in the remote village of Carbost, it is set on the shores of Loch Harport with dramatic views of the Cuillins. Talisker is renowned for its rugged, smoky character, shaped by the harsh conditions and marine influences of its coastal location. This unique environment imparts the whisky with its distinctive peppery, peaty flavor profile, often described as embodying the spirit of its wild surroundings.
