Talisker 12 Year Old 2011 Refill Hogshead

This classic Talisker from 2011 has been bottled by Lucky Choice & Harmony Whisky in 2024. With only 108 bottles produced, this is an exceptionally rare release from the renowned Islay distillery. A genuine opportunity for whisky enthusiasts to experience an unfiltered Talisker at full strength and complexity.

Bottled at a robust 56.7% ABV, this refill hogshead maximises the intensity and character of this single malt. Twelve years of maturation have created a well-balanced whisky showcasing Talisker's signature ashy and peppery character, complemented by mineral notes and honeyed sweetness. The refill cask allows the distillery's natural flavours to shine through without excessive wood influence.

On the nose and palate, classic Talisker markers dominate: ashy campfire notes, white pepper, iodine and a saline mineral backbone. Beneath these, subtle sweet notes of honey and pear emerge, interwoven with leathery elements and smoked citrus. The finish is long and saline, with seaweed and herbal notes gradually giving way to underlying sweet citrus.

This release is ideal for dedicated Talisker fans and collectors seeking a mature, non-chill filtered expression with genuine depth and character.
