Talisker 45 Year Old Glacial Edge / Parley

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 in 1988, the popularity of the distillery exploded, and it is now one of the most revered and exported in Scotland.

This particular bottling from the Skye distillery was inspired by Arctic glaciers in British Columbia, Canada. The whisky was matured in charred American oak casks, which, for 96 hours, were kept on the glacial field, exposed to the harsh elements and sub-zero temperatures. It was bottled in collaboration with the Parley group, a Clean-up Network that work to protect marine environments from plastic pollution.

This is the first ever Talisker to be bottled at 45 years of age.

Please note due to the size and weifght of this lot, it will carry a four-bottle shipping fee.
