Talisker 8 Years Old Single Malt Special Release 2020 57,9% Vol. 0,7l in Giftbox

The Talisker 8 Years Old Single Malt Special Release 2020 57.9% Vol. 0.7 l + gift box is a limited special edition from the traditional Talisker distillery on the Isle of Skye. This bottling was specially selected for the coveted Diageo Special Releases series 2020 and impresses with its maritime character and powerful presentation at cask strength. Matured in heavily charred ex-bourbon casks, this single malt develops an impressive depth and spiciness that clearly distinguishes it from classic Talisker standard bottlings.

Founded in 1830, the Talisker distillery is known for its unique, salty and smoky whiskies, which are closely linked to the wild coastal landscape of Skye. The Talisker 8 Years Old impressively demonstrates the distillery's powerful profile and delights with its intense aromatics and smoky warmth.

Thanks to its limited edition and high-quality gift box, this bottling is a highlight not only for collectors but also for lovers of intense Scottish single malts. The high alcohol content of 57.9% ABV allows for individual discovery of the aromas neat or with a few drops of water.

Tasting notes:

Color: Bright, light gold with light amber reflections.
Nose: Intense maritime aroma with a salty sea breeze, rich smoke, sweet malt, and subtle hints of charred wood and campfire.
Palate: Powerful entry with peppery spice and typical Talisker smokiness, followed by creamy vanilla, dried fruit, and a hint of honey sweetness.
Finish: Long-lasting, warming, and characterized by maritime smokiness, complemented by spicy wood notes and a subtle, pleasant sweetness.

Talisker 8 Years Old is ideal as an accompaniment to savory dishes such as grilled steak or spicy lamb. It also pairs beautifully with strong cheeses such as mature Gouda or Roquefort. Alternatively, this whisky can also be used as a base for an intense, smoky whisky sour.
