Description

This Talisker 1976 46 Year Old Prima & Ultima is the oldest-ever release from Talisker, produced during an uncharacteristic heatwave in 1976 which made the stills run hot, increasing copper contact. It was matured for 46 years, initially in refill American oak hogsheads and European oak butts, and then married in European oak puncheons.

Maltiply Tasting Profile
Nose
A mellow feel, with very light prickle perhaps just hinting at that Talisker spice. The aromas are complex and reserved, with fragrant and lightly oily top notes backed by a salty sea-breeze and a whiff of new hessian sacks, and beneath this a sweet suggestion of toffee.
Palate
Ultra-smooth, oily and slightly waxy in texture, the taste sweet to start, with saltiness, white pepper-spice and subtle smokiness, complete with a familiar peppery kick at the back, all combining to make this an experience to savour throughout.
Finish
Long, warming and sweet-smoky, with a lingering mouth-cooling aftertaste. More of this menthol-like effect is noticeable at reduced strength.
