New! Talisker Xpedition Oak 43 Year Old 🌊 at The Whisky Shop – Scotch Whisky News

Introducing Talisker Xpedition Oak 43 Year Old
Some of the oldest whisky ever released from Talisker

Talisker 43 Year Old is the first release in the distillery’s Xpedition Oak series: a collection of some of the rarest and oldest Talisker single malts.

Matured for over four decades in American oak hogsheads and left at a natural cask strength of 50% ABV, this release is a truly rare single malt – limited to only 1,830 bottles from a selection of just ten casks. The whisky is presented in a beautiful bottle and housed in an intricately-crafted wooden box.

Shaped by the natural elements of the rugged Isle of Skye, Talisker’s Xpedition Oak series celebrates wild whisky making at its finest.

With this first release, the distillery has created an exceptional aged whisky that maintains the signature peppery sea salt and smoky sweet character that Talisker is loved for. Uniquely, the whisky has been finished in casks made of staves that have traversed the Atlantic Ocean on an epic 3,264-mile journey by British adventurer James Aiken, and each bottle of this rare whisky is accompanied by a piece of one of these very staves.

Mellow spice leads on the nose, with a delicious top note of stewed apple and a whisp of aromatic smoky wax, followed by complex layers of varnished wood and fresh sea spray. It is smooth and vibrant, with a rich intensity and gentle astringency from a sweet chilli pepper warmth that coats the palate in a lingering finish.

This is a spectacular representation of the rich history of whisky making on the Isle of Skye, to be enjoyed wherever your ‘staycation’ takes you this summer.
