Talisker 18 Year Old

Talisker 18 Year Old is an 18-year-old single malt Scotch whisky from Talisker, the long-established distillery on Scotland’s Isle of Skye. Bottled at 45.8% ABV in the 700ml format seen in Malaysia, it presents Talisker’s maritime island character in a richer, softer style, combining fruit sweetness, smoke, peat and a distinctive chilli-pepper finish.

Talisker is made by the sea at the oldest distillery on the Isle of Skye, founded in 1830. Official brand material describes Talisker spirit as shaped by medium-peated malt, clear worts, long fermentation, five stills and worm tubs, producing the distillery’s recognisable mix of smoke, fruit, salt, pepper and mid-palate weight. This expression is aged for 18 years.

In the glass it shows a dark amber colour. The aroma is rich and fruity, moving through Victoria plums, greengages and dried orange peel, with butterscotch, rum toffee and a fine thread of smoke. The palate opens sweet, then becomes more assertive and warming, developing smoke, coal-tar, toffee, fruit and peat before a medium-length chilli catch.

This is a considered choice for drinkers who already enjoy smoky island single malts and want a more mature Talisker expression. Serve it neat for its full structure, or add a small splash of water or ice to open the fruit, toffee and smoky notes. It also suits whisky-focused gifting and slow sipping after dinner.
