✦ Neatly Summary

Talisker 47 Year Old Magma is a 47-year-old single malt from Talisker (Scotland), bottled at 48.8% ABV. Expect intensely smoky, oaky and peaty character — smokey, old wood, leathery, toasted. Best suited for experienced drinkers who enjoy bold, complex whiskies. A collector's expression at a premium price point.

Talisker's oldest official release, distilled in 1978 and aged 47 years in refill American oak before a four-month finish in new American oak heated with basalt rocks from Skye—a volcanic nod to the island's character. The extended maturation mellows the distillery's signature pepper and smoke into layered complexity, with maritime brine, dark leather, and hints of peat underlying a surprising smoothness for its age. The texture is silky and warming despite the cask strength of 48.8% ABV, with a long, elegant finish that balances smoke with subtle oak spice. At 622 bottles globally, this is a collector's piece for those seeking the pinnacle of Talisker's range.
