Revealing unexplored richness, complexity and a unique untamed flavour which is attributed to the whisky travelling deeper into the casks to obtain spicier and sweeter aromas from the American Oak ex-Bourbon barrels. Finished in ice-fractured casks to unearth a new depth of flavour, this exquisitely rare new Single Malt Scotch whisky from Talisker is the final release in a series of adventures in wild whisky making.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance: \u003c\/strong\u003eGlowing amber. Exceptional beading.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose: \u003c\/strong\u003eRich, dry and mellow overall, with a light peppery prickle at first. Clear maritime top notes speak of tide-line seaweed, sand dunes, iodine; their mineral companions suggest slaked lime and salt crystals. Behind them a faint dried fruit complex with hints of fig, sultana, or prune lends body and richness. Light smoke threads the background, touched by aromatic sandalwood. A drop of water tends to close the aromas yet adds richness to the fruity sweetness, with notes of fruit salad coming through.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full, rich.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e The texture is all-enveloping; smooth and mouth-filling. On first sip the taste starts richly sweet, while it becomes delightfully salty, smoky and increasingly peppery mid-palate; even at this age there is still a fine chilli ’catch’. A dash of water reduces the peppery note slightly and there is more attractive saltiness, suggesting salted caramels.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish: \u003c\/strong\u003eVery long, with a trace of candle wax in a glorious chilli pepper effect that grows and glows in the aftertaste. Saltier at reduced strength and slightly less peppery, now with faint scented smoke in the aftertaste.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Liquor Barn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56076208931195,"sku":"38894","price":4999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/4217\/2645\/files\/Talisker-45-Year-Glacial-Edge-Single-Malt__86613.jpg?v=1770741506","url":"https:\/\/alkyclub.com\/products\/talisker-45-year-expedition-oak-series-glacial-edge-700ml","provider":"Alky Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
