TaliskerSkye(700mL)

<p>The Mellow Talisker.</p><p>Talisker distillery was founded in <em>1830 </em>by Hugh and Kenneth MacAskil at Carbost, on the the Isle of <em>Skye</em>. In all these years Talisker’s distillation method has remained virtually the same, refusing to go with the flow of the industry, other than with the necessary health and safety improvements. As the only distillery on the Isle of Skye, Talisker’s drams are quite idiosyncratic, defining an Island malt style that is their very own.</p><p>Talisker Skye, named after the island on which the distillery is situated, takes the typically <em>heavily peated </em>and sweet currents of Talisker and mellows them out. It was released in early 2015 and has been matured in American and <em>toasted oak</em> casks. While the obvious Talisker traits are still there, this is a good malt to use as an introduction to some of the distillery’s more heavily peated options.</p>
