The Talisker 18Y represents the pinnacle of Skye single malts, marrying rugged maritime character with refined maturation.
Escape to the windswept Scottish coasts with every sip of this exquisite single malt. Matured for 18 full years, its unique profile blends a primary aging in American oak ex-Bourbon casks (~70%) with a secondary finishing in ex-Sherry casks. Lightly peated with a malt level around 18-22 PPM, it delivers a harmonious contrast of sweet dried fruits and gentle coastal smoke. An unforgettable dram crafted for true connoisseurs.
