The aftertaste is exceptionally long, boasting warm, smoky notes, punctuated with a hint of pepper. 

Suggested Serves

• A 'Scotch Manhattan', traditionally made with rye whiskey, takes on an invigorating new dimension when Talisker 10 is substituted, delivering a delightful balance of sweet, sour, and smoky flavors.
• For a simple yet elegant serve, ‘Neat or on the Rocks’ allows you to appreciate the full depth of Talisker's sea-salt smokiness.

Production Notes

The production of Talisker 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is steeped in tradition. The process begins with malting the barley using island peat, lending a unique smoky, iodine aroma. Distillation occurs in stills which are among only a handful still using traditional wooden washbacks, contributing to the distillery’s characteristic peppery finish. Aging for a full ten years in American oak casks imparts a satisfying sweetness that beautifully balances the robust smoky character.
Powered by centuries-old techniques, the making of this whisky is a testament to a time-honored craft that celebrates the spirit of the Scottish isles.
