Talisker 'Talimburg' 1986 The Whisky Fair 19 Year Old

A Talimburg (aka Talisker) single malt, distilled in May 1986 and bottled at 19 years old by The Whisky Fair in June 2005. Matured in Bourbon hogshead #1485.

For a long time, Talisker was the sole distillery on Scotland’s iconic Isle of Skye. Renowned for the quality of its output, the distillery has rarely changed hands, joining DCL (now Diageo) back in 1916. Despite this, releases were not the most common. An 8 year old was bottled officially and Gordon & MacPhail produced what are now classic and sought after vintage bottlings under official license from the distillery. When a 10 year old expression became a founding pillar of United Distillers’ Classic Malts range, the popularity of the distillery exploded, and it is now one of the most revered and exported in Scotland. As such, independent bottlings like this are scarce, and particularly sought after when they appear.
