Talisker Special Releases 2023

Diageo's prestigious Special Release collection of 2023 presents Talisker 'The Wild Explorador.' This exceptional expression underwent a remarkable transformation through a finishing period in a blend of white, tawny, and ruby Port casks before being bottled at a robust 59.7% ABV.

While Talisker has a storied history of excelling in Port casks, 'The Wild Explorador' introduces a fresh twist by incorporating three distinct Port varieties, all following an initial maturation in first-fill barrels, adding an intriguing complexity to its character.

Finish: Waves of saltiness, smoke and spice on the finish.
