Talisker Surge Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Country: Isle of Skye Scotland 

Alc.: 45.8% 70cl 

We Say: Made at the oldest distillery on the Isle of Skye, this peated single malt instantly calls to mind a raging bonfire blazing on the beach. Though powerful smoky notes form its core, the palate serves subtle seawater notes and lusciously sweet malt, adding layers of nuance and intrigue.

Ageing: Talisker Surge is finished in American Bourbon casks, which imparts a deliciously sweeter flavour.

Nose: Sweet maritime notes, fresh ginger zest and a crescendo of oak smoke and peppery spice.

Palate: As with the nose, the palate begins gentle, with immediate brioche sweetness and banoffee pie with a tropical note of tinned peaches. However, it is not long before the true essence of Talisker emerges, with sweet maritime notes, fresh ginger zest and a crescendo of oak smoke and peppery spice.

Finish: On the finish it is the powerful notes that remain - hot chilli spice and cracked black pepper, fading into a waft of distant smoke from the embers of a beach bonfire with a final, faint hint of toasted marshmallow.
