Born on the storm-battered shores of the Isle of Skye, Talisker 10 is one of Scotland's most distinctive single malts. A decade of maturation in oak produces a whisky of rare coastal character — waves of maritime salt, smouldering peat and a long, peppery finish that lingers like sea spray on cold stone. Rich. Uncompromising. Impossible to forget.
Bottled at 45.8% ABV, the definitive expression of Talisker's house style — a benchmark for those who want depth without pretension.

Talisker 10 is one of those rare whiskies that needs no introduction and no apology. The moment it hits the glass, you know exactly where you are — somewhere cold, coastal and elemental. The nose opens with a salted caramel sweetness that belies what's coming: a palate of genuine ferocity, all black pepper, burning peat and the kind of maritime brine that makes you feel like the Atlantic is in the room. The finish is extraordinary — dry, long and warming, with a slow fade of smoke and sea that lingers for minutes. We recommend it neat, with a single drop of cold water to open up the fruit notes.
Best enjoyed neat at room temperature. A single drop of cold water opens the fruit notes on the nose and softens the peppery finish. For a longer drink, try 50ml with quality sparkling water and a lemon twist.

The Distillery
1830Isle of Skye, Scotland · Est. 1830
Talisker stands alone. Perched on the windswept shores of Loch Harport on the Isle of Skye — the oldest working distillery on Scotland's most dramatic island and the only one. Founded in 1830 by brothers Hugh and Kenneth MacAskill, built where Scots Gaelic is still spoken and the Atlantic never feels far away. Every drop of water filters through peat and rock before it meets the barley. A whisky that couldn't come from anywhere else — maritime, fierce and unmistakably Skye. Part of Diageo's Classic Malts series since 1988.
