Talisker 44 Year Old Forests of the Deep / Parley - 70cl/49.1%

Talisker 44 Year Old Forests of the Deep / Parley

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 in 1988, the popularity of the distillery exploded, and it is now one of the most revered and exported in Scotland.

This particular bottling from the Skye distillery was inspired by ocean conservation to one of the world’s largest sea kelp forests near the Cape of Good Hope. It was bottled in a collaboration with the Parley group who are a Clean-up Network who work to protect marine environments from plastic pollution.

One of 1,997 bottles released in 2022.
