Talisker 1989 Friends Of The Classic Malts

Distilled in 1989 at the historic Talisker Distillery – founded on the Isle of Skye in 1830 by the MacAskill brothers – this single malt embodies the rugged character of its coastal origins. A rare bottling for the Friends of the Classic Malts, it showcases Talisker’s signature robust spirit, matured for a decade before being bottled at a powerful 59.3% ABV. Expect a complex flavour profile with notes of smoky peat, maritime brine, and a warming spice, reflective of the distillery’s traditional practices – including a period of triple distillation prior to its 1960 rebuild. This expression offers a glimpse into a celebrated era of Skye’s whisky heritage.
