Description

Talisker The Wild Blue is a limited edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky from the Isle of Skye, released as the 2025 Edition. It is a distinctive expression that combines Talisker's signature maritime character with a unique finish. For the first time, Talisker finished its whisky for 16 months in Atlantic coastal red wine casks from South Africa, imparting rich fruit notes and a vinous quality. This release is bottled at 48.2% ABV and is non-chill filtered. It is presented in a 100% recycled glass bottle with a minimalist ceramic design, and for every bottle sold, Talisker makes a donation to the Blue Marine Foundation to support coastal habitat restoration.
