The Talisker NAD - Special Release 2023 is an intriguing and highly anticipated limited edition bottling from the iconic Talisker distillery on the Isle of Skye. This expression showcases the distillery's rugged, maritime-infused house style without the constraints of an age statement.
On the nose, bold aromas of smoked sea salt, cracked black pepper, and dried seaweed mingle with notes of sweet citrus and a touch of peat smoke. The palate is full-bodied and intense, delivering powerful flavors of charred oak, brine-kissed minerality, and a warming medicinal peat. The finish is long and smoky, fading slowly with lingering hints of dark chocolate and a touch of iodine.
Bottled at a robust cask strength of 57.9% ABV, this Talisker NAD rewards patient sipping and the addition of a few drops of water to unlock its full depth and complexity. An unapologetically bold and characterful single malt that captures the essence of Talisker's wild, coastal terroir, this limited release is a must-try for fans of intensely peated and maritime-influenced Scotch whiskies.
