Talisker 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Following mashing, the barley is fermented in the wooden washbacks of the distillery and then passed through Talisker’s copper-pot stills twice. The stills have special worm tubs and lye pipes in the shape of swans. This arrangement causes some of the vapor to condense during the distillation process before it reaches the cooler and then return to the still for redistillation. Talisker Single Malt Whisky’s distinctive, robust flavor character is a result of this technique.
Talisker 10 Year Old Single Malt Whiskey is aged for at least ten years in conventional wood casks after distillation. The scent of the whisky is a little smokey, with a trace of salt and spice. On the tongue, the scent is followed by aromas of honeyed oak, cloves, black pepper, smoked pork, and masa. The finish is long and slightly sweet.
Talisker 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky was named the “Editor’s Choice” by Whisky Magazine and won the Double Gold Medal at the 2013 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. It also received a “Best Buy” rating from Wine Enthusiast and a 9.5 out of 10 rating from Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible. Last but not least, it placed 94th in the 2013 Ultimate Spirits Challenge.
“Making Talisker demands long hours and no compromises, so I tour the distillery several times a day making sure no part of the process betrays the rest,” Lochhead explains. Today, sample an uncompromising whisky!

Concerning Talisker
Talisker Distillery, which is located on the shores of Loch Harport, is greatly impacted by its location on the Isle of Skye; it captures the essence of the rugged, storm-tossed island and its resilient, unwavering inhabitants. Hugh and Kenneth MacAskill established the distillery in 1830 after leasing the Talisker House from Clan MacLeod and then turning it into a distillery. In the latter part of the 1800s, the MacAskills and Clan MacLeod negotiated a new lease for the distillery. The annual rent agreed upon was £23.12 and included a ten-gallon cask of the finest Talisker Whisky available.
Malted barley from the Highland Scottish settlement of Muir of Ord is used to make Talisker Single Malt Whisky. The whisky has a somewhat smokey flavor character because the barley is mildly peated to about 18 phenol parts per million. Soft water from one of the 14 underground springs that emerge from Hawk Hill is used to mash the barley after it has been malted and peated. Talisker has been using the same water supply since its founding some 200 years ago. Mark Lochhead, the distillery manager at Talisker, says, “I’m always sticking my nose into the mash tun because I’m a restless person at heart.”

Concerning Scotch
The most widely consumed whisky worldwide, Scotch is regarded as the best of all of them! Each of Scotland’s five whiskey regions—six if you include the unofficially recognized Islands—produces spirits with special qualities and distinctive flavors. (The type of scotch is determined by the type of grain used.)
Grain whisky employs other grains, such as corn or wheat, while malt whisky is manufactured from malted barley. A single distillery producing a single malt whisky produces an exceptional product known as a single malt, but most whiskies are blended from various distilleries, hence the term blended scotch.
