This honey-hued whiskey is aged in Bourbon barrels, then finished in oloroso Sherry casks. The overall effect is bold and mouthwatering, and yields flavors of almond, vanilla and pecan accented by clove and black pepper.

Product Description
St Kevin, the man on our bottle, stood apart. This whiskey does the same. It has sucked the marrow out of two casks. An American Bourbon barrel giving sweet, toasted vanilla notes. A Spanish Oloroso Sherry barrel adding hints of dark, dried fruit and a slight nuttiness. Non-chill filtered for truer character.

What critics and judges wrote
Multi-layered aroma of dark dried fruit, countered by a certain freshness reminiscent of ginger. … In the mouth, initially with a rich woody note, then dried fruit, some pepper and spice skillfully balance this out.

Multi-layered aroma of dark dried fruit, countered by a certain freshness reminiscent of ginger. … The palate initially has a rich woody note, which is then skilfully balanced by dried fruit, a little pepper and savouriness.
A flash of mint is overtaken by a swath of caramel, apple, and pear drops orbiting the muscular spice kick of clove, pepper, and ground chili concentrated on the tongue. Kapow! One to pour blind to Talisker lovers.
Sweet-tart dried figs, dates, and apricot excite the palate, rounded off with rich cashew and almond. … There's a bite of alcohol in the nose that echoes into the finish, which is a bit hot.
Caramel sundae on the nose with a smooth balance of discreet spices, spring flowers and rich fruit on the palate. Warming at the finish with a delightful malty toffee sweetness.
