Talisker’s ‘The Wild Explorer’ Special Release 2023 Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a limited edition expression bottled at a natural cask strength of 59.7%. This release pays homage to the great Portuguese explorer’s and their iconic ‘Caravel’ sea vessels, by finishing this supreme maritime whisky in a combination of Ruby, White and Tawny Port casks. Rich bright gold lights the fires of desire, while clear maritime notes of sea air carry hints of oyster shell, salt and sand dune on a spicy and peaty base. Surging through them come rich, sweet hints of white grape, dark fruit and dry tannin. In the mouth, these characters merge as one creamy-smooth richly fruity taste, with waves of saltiness, smoke and spice crashing through to the intense finish.
