Talisker Distillers Edition Double Matured Amoroso Sherry Cask Wood Single Malt Scotch Whisky, Isle of Skye, Scotland

After the barley has been mashed, it is fermented in the distillery’s wooden washbacks before being twice distilled through Talisker’s copper-pot stills. The stills are equipped swan-shaped lye pipes and worm tubs, which gives Talisker whisky its signature, full-bodied flavor profile. Talisker Distiller’s Edition 2014 Single Malt Scotch Whisky was distilled in 2003 and matured for ten years in used, American bourbon casks. After its initial beautyrest, the whisky was double-barreled, or finished, in casks that were previously used to mature Amoroso sherry. Amoroso sherry is a type of Oloroso sherry, but is generally sweetened with a blend of Pedro Ximénez grapes. As a result, Talisker Distiller’s Edition is imbued with an aroma of red fruits, berries and apricots, which lead to a crisp, full body. Initially, the whisky has sweet, fruity flavors, along with touches of sea salt, peat and vanilla that ultimately fade into a lingering, elegant finish. Talisker Distiller’s Edition Single Malt Whisky earned a score of 96-100 points from Wine Enthusiast, which rated it a “Best Buy.” “As Distillery Manager at Talisker, it's my task is to ensure that quality is king,” says Lochhead.
