Talisker 1978 41 Year Old Bodega Series Island Single Malt Scotch Whisky | 700ML

A 41-year-old single malt from Talisker's Bodega series, this is the oldest whisky ever released from the Isle of Skye. It has been finished in Manzanilla sherry casks from Delgado Zuleta, creating a rich, fruity character alongside the distillery's signature coastal flavours. Salty, spicy aromas of apple crumble, salted caramel, dried fruits and salty smoke fill the nose. Initially the palate offers notes of pepper, wood smoke, fudge, raisins and smouldering driftwood, before developing chilli, peat smoke and caramel that linger in the finish.

Distillery Information

Talisker Distillery is heavily influenced by its location on the Isle of Skye — it embodies the spirit of the rocky, storm-lashed island and its strong, steadfast people. The distillery was founded in 1830 by Hugh and Kenneth MacAskill, who leased the Talisker House from Clan MacLeod and eventually converted it into a distillery.
