Talisker x Parley Wilder Seas Cognac Finish Single Malt Whisky

Talisker x Parley ‘Wilder Seas’ is Talisker’s very first Single Malt Scotch Whisky finished in French oak XO Cognac casks.
Talisker has partnered with ‘Parley for the Oceans’, to rewild more than 100 million square metres of ocean forest. With this Limited Edition bottling, ‘Wilder Seas’, Talisker invites wild spirits around the world to join them on their journey.
This Limited Edition is vision and mission combined, as the in-built donation supports global, sustainable projects to protect and preserve sea forests off the coast of Scotland, South Africa and Chile.

    Nose:    Mild and dry in feel, yet rich overall. Tight-packed top notes of fruit and malt suggest malt bread with sultanas, dates and dried figs. Beneath them, a light mineral hint of chalk leads into rousing maritime notes of brine, salt crystals and ship’s rails in a high sea, all on a lightly fruity, winey base, with a hint of pipe tobacco.

    Taste:    The creamy-smooth mouthfeel introduces a big taste that starts richly sweet then quickly becomes salty, smoky and fruity, with lush, sweet hints of sultana and fig mid-palate wrapped in rising peppery spice and smokiness. Rich and intense at natural strength.

    Finish:   Long, warming and lightly drying, with a familiar late peppery catch and a most appealing smoky-fruity aftertaste.
