Talisker Distillers Edition Island Single Malt [700ML]

Description

The Talisker Distillers Edition represents the pinnacle of Isle of Skye whisky craftsmanship, combining the distillery’s legendary maritime character with double maturation in Amoroso sherry casks. This premium expression elevates the classic Talisker profile beyond what you’ll find in standard releases like Big Peat Islay Blended Malt or Ardbeg 10 Year Old, delivering exceptional complexity that showcases why Talisker remains Scotland’s most celebrated island distillery.
