Description
Talisker Dark Storm is a powerful Isle of Skye single malt Scotch whisky, bottled at 45.8 per cent in a 1-litre bottle and presented in a high-quality gift box. This exclusive travel retail edition comes from the famous Talisker Distillery on the Isle of Skye and is one of the distillery’s most intense expressions. Unlike Talisker Storm, Dark Storm is matured in deeply charred oak casks. This particularly intense cask treatment gives the whisky exceptional depth and significantly stronger smoky and spicy notes. The striking combination of maritime influences, robust peat smoke and the toasted aromas of the deeply charred casks makes Talisker Dark Storm one of the distillery’s smokiest official bottlings.
Talisker Dark Storm combines the unmistakable coastal character of the Isle of Skye with intense cask influence and powerful smoky notes. The heavily charred oak casks lend the whisky additional complexity and ensure an exceptionally full-bodied mouthfeel. This release is therefore particularly aimed at lovers of robust, smoky single malt Scotch whiskies who wish to experience the typical Talisker style in a particularly intense form.
Tasting NoteColour: Amber.
Nose: Intense smoke, sea salt, maritime notes, oak, spices and fruity-sweet accents.

Talisker Dark Storm reveals its flavours best when enjoyed neat. It is recommended to let the whisky rest in the glass for about 10 minutes before drinking, so that its full spectrum of flavours can unfold. This Scottish single malt pairs superbly with smoked salmon, sushi, grilled seafood, BBQ ribs, mature Cheddar or dark chocolate. Maturation in heavily charred oak casks emphasises the powerful smoky character and makes this Travel Exclusive Edition an exceptional choice for lovers of intense Talisker whiskies.
