15-year-old

About

Talisker's 15-year-old is a remarkable expression from this legendary Isle of Skye distillery. Matured exclusively in freshly charred American oak hogsheads, this bottling elevates Talisker's signature maritime and smoky character to impressive heights. With a powerful 57.3% ABV, this whisky demands and rewards your full attention. The nose reveals citrus and honey notes with pronounced peppery spice, complemented by subtle seaweed hints that echo the distillery's coastal setting. On the palate, dried fruit, vanilla, and caramel emerge alongside warm smoke, persistent pepper, and ginger warmth. The finish is long and mouthwatering, with orange pith, cloves, and dried spices creating an elegant, lingering conclusion. This is a whisky for those who embrace bold, spicy profiles with a touch of maritime character. Best enjoyed neat or with just a splash of water to unlock its full complexity and allow the layered flavours to shine.
