A bold and elemental expression from the Isle of Skye, Talisker 11 Year Old Special Release 2022 is a cask strength single malt that captures the distillery’s unmistakable maritime character in its purest form. Matured in first-fill bourbon casks, it delivers amplified coastal intensity with remarkable clarity and structure. On the nose, vibrant sea spray and cracked black pepper intertwine with notes of citrus zest, green apple and light vanilla sweetness. The palate is powerful yet precise: smoky embers, brine and chili heat are balanced by creamy malt, orchard fruit and subtle oak spice. The finish is long, warming and peppery, with lingering maritime salinity. Bottled at natural cask strength, this limited Special Release is a compelling choice for collectors and enthusiasts seeking a more energetic and untamed interpretation of Talisker’s classic coastal style.
