- Description
- This 12-year-old Friends of Classic Malts release demonstrates Talisker's depth at full distillery strength of 45.8%. The additional four years of aging over the standard 10-year-old bring richer spice, darker smoke, and a more structured palate while maintaining the distillery's signature white pepper and coastal character. Medium-bodied with a long, warming finish. Essential for Talisker devotees seeking greater complexity.
