Description

This Talisker 8 Year Old is a highly anticipated limited release from Diageo's 2018 Special Releases series, bottled at a natural cask strength of 59.4% ABV. Matured in first-fill ex-bourbon American oak hogsheads, it harks back to the Talisker bottlings of the 1970s and 1980s, offering a rich and intense expression of the distillery's maritime character. It is known for its bold, peppery, smoky, and unmistakably coastal profile.
