Product Information

While it can be enjoyed on its own, Talisker Skye is also a great whisky to pair with food. The smoky, peaty flavour pairs wonderfully with strong cheese such as mature cheddar, blue cheese, and Gouda. The smokiness of the whisky cuts through the richness of the cheese and the flavours of both are enhanced. With Water: A few drops of water tame the sweetness on the aroma and bring out some lemon peel. The palate is brighter and has more tart high notes, which makes it less cloying. I highly recommend a little water with this.

The first stills were made from copper and the brothers began distilling their own whisky. In 1892, the MacAskill brothers sold the distillery to the MacDonald brothers, who had been running a successful distillery in nearby Portree. Under their ownership, the distillery was expanded and the first Talisker whisky was released in 1897. I’m not sure what “part of the quote” I “cropped” but, then again, I’m not sure who assumed Storm was really just the 10 with no age statement and the use of (some) re-charred ex-bourbon casks anyway.

Talisker 10 goes especially well with cheeses that have a strong flavour such as blue cheese or aged cheddar. The smokiness and saltiness of the whisky will bring out the flavours of the cheese and the sweetness of the whisky will help to balance out the sharpness of the cheese. Talisker Storm is a more affordable, no-age-statement whisky that balances smoky and spicy flavours. It’s made of whiskies ranging between 3 and 25 years which creates tension between more fiery youthful malts and older sweeter ones. Re-charred American Oak barrels intensify the smokiness for a more pungent Talisker taste.The Talisker Storm and Talisker Skye are two highly acclaimed single malts, each stemming from the distillery’s famous 10 year old expression. Each has its own unique character and flavour profile, making them both popular choices for whisky connoisseurs. Finally, desserts like dark chocolate mousse or flourless chocolate cake are a great choice for food pairing. The whisky’s smoky and peaty notes will enhance the flavour of the chocolate, while the sweet and citrus notes will add balance to the dish.
