57° North

About

Talisker 57° North is an intense and characterful single malt from the Islands, named after the precise latitude of the distillery on the Isle of Skye. This cask strength expression at 57% ABV pays tribute to Talisker's remote northern location and delivers an unfiltered experience of what this iconic distillery crafts. The nose is immediately dominated by peat and smoke, with distinct leather and burnt wood characteristics reminiscent of ocean waves. On the palate, a remarkable interplay unfolds: full-bodied peat and the typical peppery spiciness of Talisker meld with sweeter fruit notes of citrus, honey, and subtle vanilla. Despite its formidable strength, this whisky drinks with surprising smoothness and balance. The finish is dry and medium-long, delivering a salty, oily texture that underscores the smoky character and leaves a lingering peaty impression.
