According to Diageo’s legend of The Lustrous Creature of the Depths, a luminous being was drawn from the depths of the sea to Talisker Bay. As it neared, the powerful glow from the creature imbued the Talisker new-make spirit with an untypical vibrancy and spice that outshone the classic smoky notes.
The result is this Talisker 11-year-old expression, matured in first-fill and refill ex-bourbon casks and wine-seasoned casks. Fresh orchard fruits and sea air are immediately apparent on the nose, before developing into elegant notes of suede and shoe shops. The palate delivers salted caramel, followed be the orchard fruits hinted by the nose, juicy berries, and finishing on a peppery chilli catch on the finish. Delivered at 55.1% ABV.
