Venture beyond Skye’s rugged shores with Talisker “The Wild Blue” – 2025 Edition, the distillery’s first release to receive a finishing spell in red-wine casks sourced from vineyards on South Africa’s Atlantic coast. The maritime influence of both oceans weaves Talisker’s trademark peppery peat with ripe dark-berry richness and subtle tannin, creating a complex dram that mirrors the meeting of swirling seas. Bottled at the distillery’s hallmark 45.8 % ABV, non-chill-filtered and natural in colour, each bottle funds a donation to the Blue Marine Foundation, helping restore coastal habitats and safeguard marine wildlife.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Rolling camp-fire smoke and sea-spray collide with blackberry jam, vanilla pod and a flicker of cracked black pepper. Palate: A bold surge of smouldering peat, briny toffee and liquorice root glides into layers of dark-fruit compôte, toasted oak and a bright lift of salted citrus. Finish: Long, warming and gently dry—lingering ember-like smoke, cassis sweetness and a final flourish of maritime salinity.
