- Description
- Talisker's signature 10-year-old expression, bottled in the 1990s as part of Diageo's Classic Malts series, carries the iconic map label celebrating its Isle of Skye home. Intense peppery spice and volcanic smoke dominate, with a mineral brine character and hints of dark fruit emerging on the palate. The texture is full-bodied and warming, with a long finish of maritime warmth and lingering black pepper. Essential drinking for anyone seeking Talisker's classic peppery character at a robust 45.8% ABV.
