Talisker – Parley Glacial Edge 45 Year (70cl, 49.8%)

This is a 45-year-old single malt from Talisker on the Isle of Skye, released as part of the distillery's Parley series. The series is tied to Talisker's partnership with Parley for the Oceans, which focuses on ocean conservation. It is bottled at 49.8% ABV in a 70cl bottle. Forty-five years of maturation soften and enrich the distillery's maritime character. The palate is described as deeply salty, with dried fruit, smoke and honeyed oak in layers. The finish is very long, complex and elegant.
