Since 1997, Talisker presents this limited run “Distillers Edition”. It is a double-aged whisky, first in Bourbon and then in Amoroso Sherry barrels, directly from Spain. The bottle in question dates back to 2002 and is a rarity. Bottles of this type, nowadays, reach very high prices in auctions.

TASTING NOTES TALISKER DISTILLERS EDITION 1989
Nose: alcohol very well integrated. It is multifaceted. Caramel and bacon complete the flavor profile.
Palate: very intense. Black pepper is repeated, joined by bacon and smoky notes. The peat is dampened by sweetness, even if contained. Black cherry, dried fruits and raisins.
Finish: long persistence and good complexity. Peat notes, iodine, black pepper and unripe berries can be perceived.
The spirit is tamed by the sweet notes of the Sherry barrel, which on the one hand increase the flavor profile, on the other it limits its peculiar characteristics.
