Rumour has it that this blend contains a high percentage of Single Malt and even more so, a lot of Talisker, hence the name. Other ingredients are from Girvan and Cragganmore. The oldie starts out fresh and fruity (peaches, passion fruit) with vanilla, toffee, candyfloss, some herbs, a saw mill oakiness and a bit of pepper in the background. A classic old Bourbon cask style in the nose. On the palate it is way more herbal than expected, an elegant and green whisky: green tea, green herbs spring meadows and slightly bitter aromas. There also are faint peat, wet moss and crystallized oranges – a very unusual taste. The finish is not ultra-long but a real pleasure, mostly on fruit and oak. Good whisky.
