INSIGHT ON WHISKEY TALISKER 10 YEAR OLD

Talisker 10 Year Old is the epitome of whisky of the Isle of Skye, a remote island in the North of Scotland which - alone - represents one of the most popular destinations for tourists from all over the world due to the difficulties of access and the breathtaking beauty that every glimpse of the panorama offers. Giving a single face to all this wonder is complicated but Talisker 10 Year Old might be able to make us understand where this comes from whisky: first of all the gustatory intensity that manages to bring expert palates together with young connoisseurs. The saline part that comes directly from the sea a few steps from where the barrels rest for a decade is known to everyone, as is the spiciness of black pepper which alone is worth the price of the ticket: a spicy and saline embrace that shows no sign of diminishing and which actually seems to grow minute after minute, then leaving room for all the other notes.

The refinement takes place exclusively in American oak barrels which previously contained American bourbon, often second passage so that the typical notes of the bourbon do not overlap with what was seen before, avoiding new and unsuitable sweetnesses for the island by Skye. To complete everything, peat is taken care of, a peat of extreme fineness and which actually simply acts as a structure, as a scaffolding for the main characteristics of this whisky. The spirit of the Isle of Skye lives to the core in this bottle and in every sip, giving the sensation - by closing your eyes tightly - of taking a journey from your sofa or armchair and finding yourself catapulted into the uncontaminated nature of the Isle of Skye. Skye, paradise on earth.

Diageo - the company that owns Talisker and other distilleries - knows this treasure inside out and does nothing but preserve the purest tradition that animates this distillery, a distillery that in two centuries of history has changed very little in terms of technology and recognisability . The great Taliskers of the past, with longer refinements and in different barrels, are not that different from this bottle, presenting the same unique characteristics, the intensity and breadth of flavour, the salt and black pepper, the peat and the sea.

Giving a face to a place is difficult and sometimes impossible, but with Talisker 10 Year Old it is extremely easy: just pour a single drop of this liquid elixir to find yourself swept up in a vortex of sensations and emotions, a powerful voice that tells better than a thousand books what it means to live on an island in the middle of the ocean, at the mercy of the atmospheric agents that dominate every aspect of the lives of the inhabitants of Skye and the many visitors who come here on pilgrimage. Talisker 10 Year Old is a more than obligatory bottle for those who profess to be lovers of whisky, a bottle that must be known by heart in every detail and which must be given as a gift without hesitation, giving anyone the opportunity to know, love and fully appreciate one of the main malts of Scotland and the world.
