Talisker 8 Year Old 2021 Special Release 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.
This Talisker 8 Year Old is one of the iconic distilleries featured in Diageo’s 2021 Special Releases Collection. The distillery’s most heavily peated reserves are used to make the single malt Scotch, so anticipate a lot of smoke flavors combined with salt, cereal, and a hint of sweetness. The whisky, which is bottled at 119.4 percent and aged in refill casks, is a powerful seashore expression.

The scents of cereal fill the nostrils first, then brine, seaweed, and smoke. Throughout the lengthy finish, there are noticeable smoke flavors and a mild sweetness to the savory tongue.
