Talisker Surge
From the Talisker distillery on the western isle of Skye comes this rather exciting release: Talisker Surge! This whisky, from its labelling to its flavour profile, invokes the elemental stormy forces that shape Skye and the Talisker distillery. Surge features whiskies of differing ages that have been matured in American oak ex-bourbon casks. Offers lots of that great peat smoke with plenty of sweet maritime notes and some sweetness.
