Talisker Single Malt Whisky 8 Years Special Release 2021 0.7L 59.7% Diageos Special Releases Towards the end of the 1980s, the company tried for the first time to establish a limited release series on the market with the well-known 'Classic Malts' series. At that time, the series comprised six single malts from six distilleries. Interest in older or rarer malt bottlings quickly grew, which was finally covered by the 'Rare Malt' series known between 1995 and 2005. Even before these special bottlings were completed, it was quickly noticed that the demand for special bottlings with a distinctive character and limited bottlings at cask strength was enormous. In 2001, the 'Special Releases' series with an annual collection was therefore launched. This year, 2021, the series has been given the motto 'Legends Untold', presenting a single malt collection that presents the stories and their guardians in a unique way. Talisker 'The Rogue Seafury' From the legend of the oldest still operating distillery on the Isle of Skye, the Talisker distillery, comes the Leviathan sea dragon of the Loch, who watches over his home. He is said to give the Talisker whisky its distinctive salty character. This presents an aroma of sweetness and maritime saltiness at the same time, seaweed and iodine mix with the aromas of barley and hazel, and wood aromas can be perceived in the background. On the palate, salty notes are accompanied by sweet peat smoke. Slightly spicy pepper notes round off the palate. The finish is warming and ends with smoky notes.
