Talisker – Surge Single Malt Whisky (70cl, 45.8%)

Talisker Surge is a single malt from the Isle of Skye, bottled at 45.8% in a 70cl bottle. It is finished in American bourbon casks, which add a sweet note, with a layer of spice for depth. The profile is lightly smoky and keeps the maritime character of the distillery. The nose brings berries, crème brûlée, banana split and butterscotch, with toasted pine nuts and a touch of chili. The palate begins gently, then turns sweet and maritime, with brioche, banana cake, peach and fresh ginger. The finish is long, with chili, black pepper, campfire smoke and toasted marshmallow.
