Talisker 8 Year Old – Special Releases 2020 Single Malt Scotch Whisky Tasting Notes

Nose: The nose feels light, with signature sweet and maritime notes forming the top layer; molasses and demerara sugar emerge from beneath and boast the rum cask influence.

Palate: Expect an initial soft and smooth texture, before the Talisker pepperiness takes over the palate; a touch of water will soften the rich sweetness.

Finish: A long, hotly pepper and drying finish lingers on the tongue.
