- Description
- Finished in ruby port casks after maturation in ex-bourbon wood, this 2013 release at 45.8% ABV softens Talisker's characteristic volcanic smoke with rich, dark fruit sweetness. The port finish rounds the edges of the distillery's peppery spirit while maintaining enough maritime character to remain recognisably Talisker. Ideal for those who appreciate the distillery's core character but prefer fruit-forward complexity.
