Product Details
Talisker 18 Years Old combines the distillery's signature rugged maritime style with elegant aging layers. Compared to the intense punch of the 10-year version, the 18-year is more mellow and restrained, with smoke and rich fruit sweetness intertwined. Matured in a blend of Bourbon and Sherry casks, it retains the unique sea salt salinity and black pepper finish of Skye while offering a rounded mouthfeel, making it an essential choice for advanced whisky collectors.

Talisker, located on the Isle of Skye in Scotland, is the oldest distillery on the island, founded in 1830 by the MacAskill brothers. Situated by the sea, its unique geography imparts a distinct maritime character to the whisky. Talisker is famous for its special 'two-to-three' distillation process and unique 'U' shaped worm tubs, traditional techniques that give the spirit fine layers, heavy oiliness, and iconic peppery spice. The 18-year version is a pinnacle representative. In 2007, it was named 'World's Best Single Malt Whisky' at the World Whiskies Awards (WWA), an honor that led whisky fans worldwide to rediscover the power of Skye. Long maturation in wood transforms the initial fiery pepper into rich spicy sweetness, much like waves becoming steady and powerful over time. Often called the 'King of Drinks' by enthusiasts, it is the ultimate example of balancing power with delicacy.
