Talisker 41 Year Old Prima & Ultima Second Release 1979

Talisker 41 Year Old Prima & Ultima Second Release is an age-statement single malt whisky produced at the Talisker Distillery and bottled as part of Diageo`s Prima & Ultima series. Distilled at the Talisker Distillery on the isle of Skye in 1979, this rare, collectible single malt was drawn from the last four 1979 refill American Oak hogsheads stored in Talisker`s warehouse No.4 – the warehouse closest to the Atlantic Ocean. "The nose is characterful, with lightly oily and smoky top notes that lead into scents of the sea-shore; sweet edible seaweed, sea-breezes and warm sand. A deliciously mellow, lightly oily texture introduces a sweet and rich start, the smokiness rolling in with, yes, a little salt mid-palate. It is peppery too, as you would expect, with chilli in the warming finish and more linseed oil in the aftertaste." Maureen Robinson, Master Blender
