- Description
- Distilled in 1955 and bottled by Gordon & MacPhail in the 1980s, this Talisker represents the Skye distillery's coastal peat character from an earlier era. At 40% ABV, the spirit shows the maritime smoke and black pepper that define Talisker, mellowed by decades in wood. The rarity and age of this bottle make it a collector's piece rather than one for regular drinking.
