Talisker 2002 / 15 Year Old / Special Releases 2019 Island Whisky

70cl / 57.3% / Distillery Bottling – An advance of seven years on 2018’s Special Releases Talisker, this is a big, sooty, earthy single malt run-through with lashings of ripe citrus and treacle sponge, and plenty of warming spice. Plenty of heft and darkness to be found here, alongside classic, coastal Talisker character for purists to revel in.
