Not another whisky/whiskey I hear you say! Well, yes, this is the September Whisky of the Month, from the Isle of Skye, off the West Coast of Scotland. From Talisker (website), where the distillery has been since 1830, and their 45.8% Talisker Skye Single Malt Whisky, and yes, I've gone for a Scottish whisky this month, because I saw it at a decent price, maybe.😉
The Talisker Skye is a deep golden colour, following ageing in used bourbon casks, and with hints of smoked peat and honey in the aroma. At first taste, it is smooth, soft, and slightly sweet, with hints of smokiness, citrus, black pepper spiciness, and butterscotch coming through, to a subtly heated spicy finish, to warm the cockles, pretty satisfying... Sláinte! 😁
