No whisky reveals the character of its birthplace better than TALISKER. To know TALISKER is to feel the power of the sea, and sense its rugged location on the banks of Loch Harport, on the foreboding Isle of Skye. TALISKER STORM is an exuberant new expression of TALISKER: more intense and smoky, with enhanced and vibrant maritime notes, smoothly balanced by TALISKER’S signature hot sweetness.
Talisker Distillery Manager Mark Lochhead explains:“Any new member of the Talisker family has a lot to live up to and I am proud to say that Talisker Storm does just that. The distinctive whisky we create with such passion and care here on Skye speaks very boldly of the dramatic island where it was born. Everyone here is delighted at the skill with which our malt masters have put together this vivacious new Talisker. Talisker Storm is indeed the right name for it!”
One way to enjoy TALISKER STORM is to pair it with wild smoked salmon. Wild salmon’s smooth, velvety texture and complex smoky and salty flavors contrast perfectly with the maritime, briny character of TALISKER STORM, without overwhelming the palate.
Tasting Notes:ABV: 45.8%
Nose: Spicy, mellow smoke and a honeyed sweet maltiness with an explosion of pepper
Palate: At first sweetly mellow and rich followed quickly by a spicy heat, like a gathering Storm. The flavour is elegantly drawn out with a balance of sweetness, smoke and salt.
Finish: Clean, warming, with a lasting aftertaste
The sweet warmth and briny, peppery finish that are the symbol of the Talisker character have been carfully accentuated through a skillful blend of differing aged Talisker casks. The profound maritime character achieves a deeper intensity, like a warm welcom from a wild Hebridean sea.
