STILLS AND SEA AIR
There is nothing like Talisker. It is one of the most individual of
single malts, a unique example of the Island style.
The influence of the sea is unmistakable, imparting a seaweedy
pungency which mingle easily with the more recogisable malt
characteristics - the aromas of wood and smoke, the velvety smoothness,
and the well balanced, satisfying weight.
The 45.8% alcohol by volume strength, the peppery, long, huge
finish, which explodes on the palate, inspired one taste to dub
Talisker 'the lava of the Cullins'. Robert Louis Stevenson was
being just as dramatic when he penned a poem in which he dubbed
Talisker the ' King o' Drinks'.
This celebrated whisky is an invigorating dram for any time of the
day. It has, quite fittingly, recently been selected as one of the six
Classic Malts of Scotland.
