Talisker 10 is one of those whiskies that instantly brings you to the windswept shores of Skye. It's bold, smoky, and a little salty—like a seaside campfire in a glass. If you’re just diving into peated Scotch, this one’s a classic starting point with plenty of character but still approachable.

Distillery

Talisker is the oldest Single Malt Scotch Whisky made by the sea on the shores of the Isle of Skye, one of the most remote, rugged, yet beautiful landscapes in Scotland. Its smell and taste instantly connect the drinker with the rugged environment ? like a warm welcome from a wild sea. It?s a powerhouse; challenging but adored; once discovered rarely left. Talisker 10 Years Old is the classic stalwart of the Talisker family. The perfect companion for when the day is done, smooth, smoky with a comforting afterglow.
