Talisker 1979 Caledonian Selection 21 Year Old 75cl / US Import
An unusual single cask bottling of Talisker, bottled by Liquid Gold Enterprises for their Caledonian Selection series of decanters.
For a long time, Talisker was the sole distillery on Scotland’s iconic Isle of Skye. Renowned for the quality of its output, the distillery has rarely changed hands, joining DCL (now Diageo) back in 1916. Despite this, releases were not the most common. An 8 year old was bottled officially and Gordon & MacPhail produced what are now classic and sought after vintage bottlings under official license from the distillery. When a 10 year old expression became a founding pillar of United Distillers’ Classic Malts range, the popularity of the distillery exploded, and it is now one of the most revered and exported in Scotland. As such, independent bottlings like this are scarce, and particularly sought after when they appear.
Distilled in 1979 and and matured in hogshead #5939, it was bottled in 2001.
