Talisker 45 Year Old Glacial Edge

Talisker was founded by two brothers, Hugh and Kenneth MacAskill in 1830 and until 1928 practised triple distillation. The distillery was rebuilt after being destroyed by fire in November 1960, including commissioning identical stills to those that had been destroyed in the fire. In 1998 it was part of Diageo’s Classic Malts original line up and in 2014 it became the 10th best selling single malt in the world and demand keeps growing. Recent releases include Talisker Skye and Talisker Neist Point.

Glacial Edge:

This, the third and final release in their experimental series has been on quite the adventure! Twelve heavily charred American oak casks were taken onto a voyage into Arctic ice fields in Canada. With the ends of the casks removed, they were left exposed to sub-zero temperatures for 96 hours! This they say allowed the extreme cold to fracture the wood which in turn increased the surface area of the casks that the whisky was able to interact with during the finishing period in Scotland.
