Talisker Storm was released in early 2013 as a no age statement whisky, which was matured in specifically selected American oak casks. The liquid has all the warm, smoky, peppery characteristics we all love in the standard Talisker 10 Years Old, but they’ve been turned up a notch, with more smoke, more spices, and a bigger-than-ever flavour explosion.

An intense and vibrant dram, the Storm offers up plenty of distillery characters such as the signature brine mixed with a little cream, banana, barbecues, citrus. White pepper develops towards the bottom of the glass and highlights the wood smoke, chilli heat, oak dryness and a hint of embers.
