- Description
- Talisker's 41-year-old Bodega release represents the distillery's oldest expression, aged for four decades before finishing in Manzanilla sherry casks from Delgado Zuleta. The sherry influence adds layers of dried apple, caramel, and raisin to Talisker's foundational smoke and briny spice, while fudge and smoldering driftwood notes emerge on the mid-palate. The texture is rich and complex, with warming pepper developing toward the finish. A landmark Scotch for those seeking age, provenance, and the distillery's coastal character refined through decades.
