- Description
- Talisker's 2023 Special Release was matured in ex-Tawny Port casks and bottled at cask strength, delivering a departure from the distillery's typical maritime profile. Plum, dark chocolate, and peat smoke intertwine on the nose, while the palate shows summer berries, cinnamon spice, and sea salt in rich succession. The elevated ABV of 59.7% provides a powerful backbone without masking the port cask influence and Talisker's underlying peppery spine. For those seeking Talisker reimagined through fortified wine cask influence.
