Following the first release in 2018, the T8 quickly became a sought-after bottling due to its exceptional value for money. Prices recently exceeded the four-figure mark.
The T8 was re-released in 2020 and achieved a high score of 90 points from Whiskyfun.
P.S. The 2018 edition used American Oak hogsheads, whereas the 2020 edition features a Caribbean Rum cask finish.

Tasting note from Master of Malt for reference
Nose:
First impressions are led by a sweet seaside vibe: seaweed, iodine, crystallised citrus fruit and charred meat. After a while, molasses and stewed tropical fruits come through, along with a wisp of smoke.
Palate:
Silky smooth and mouthfilling, with prickles of that characteristic Talisker pepperiness. The fruit becomes more caramelised, and the smoke becomes more bonfire-like, but the nose and palate are beautifully aligned.
Finish:
Long and warming, with the pepper turning more chilli-like, wrapped up in gentle smoke.
Overall:
An unusual Talisker with the rum cask influence, and absolutely one to add to the must-try list.
