Expert Review

Seriously impressive. The combination of oils and soot stick to the palate. Talisker Skye works best served in a Talisker Rocks Glass, neat or with a little water. Nose: The first glorious citrus sweetness of fresh oranges develops into soft mango. Maritime air with seaweed, driftwood and salt continue under. Body: Medium bodied and softly textured. Palate: Soft and sweet at first, coating and tongue tingling, with light smoke. Quickly becomes more pungent and savoury with a hot spiciness. Finish: Drier and of medium-length, with a lasting, smooth aftertaste, in which light peaty burnt embers can be found.
