Distilled in 2012, this eight-year-old Talisker single malt has been matured in heavily peated refill casks, before being bottles as part of Diageo\'s 2021 Special Releases. Aromas of vanilla, seaweed, porridge oats, briny sea water, iodine, ashy smoke and salty driftwood fill the nose. The palate offers notes of oil, sea salt, acrid peat smoke, seaweed, prickly black pepper and oak that linger in the finish. ###Product DescriptionThe 2021 collection, drawn from some of Scotland’s most interesting, legendary distilleries and curated by Master Blender Dr Craig Wilson, portrays the otherworldly beings which have fiercely protected the heartlands of remote Scottish distilleries for an eternity, according to our ancient fables, and the mythical creatures come to life revealing their true characters. Drawn from renowned distilleries, the collection nods to the hidden gems that can be found in each corner of the Scottish terrain amongst the lochs and rugged highlands.Tasting Notesintense smoke, liquorice and anise with chocolate, spice and damp earth.
