- Description
- Talisker's inaugural Bodega Series entry marries five sherry butts previously used for Delgado Zuleta's award-winning amontillado, imparting depth to this 1978-vintage 40-year-old. The combination of Talisker's volcanic character with extended sherry influence creates layers of dark fruit, maritime spice, and subtle sweetness. Rich, warming texture with a long finish balancing smoke and oxidative complexity. A collector's expression that showcases how sherry cask maturation evolves Skye's most distinctive distillery character.
