Talisker Molten Seas - Special Release 14 Ans 2025

Matured for 14 years, this Talisker is a flawless addition to the 2025 Special Releases series. Since 2001, spirits group Diageo has been bottling an annual collection of limited edition Single Malt Whiskies from its extensive distillery portfolio. The series includes Scotch whiskies that are rarely available on the market and have been matured experimentally or are considered to be of particularly high quality overall. Whisky fans and collectors are therefore equally addressed. The whiskies are released once a year at cask strength and are characterised by exceptional maturation and, in some cases, old vintages, with bottlings without an age statement also appearing. For some years now, each edition has had an overarching theme, which is reflected in the artistically designed labels and packaging. Previous themes have included "Legends Untold", "Elusive Expressions", "Spirited Xchange" and "The Enigma of the Casks". The special releases offer connoisseurs the opportunity to discover unique flavour profiles and one-off cask ageings. The motto of the 2025 collection is Horizons Unbound. After its initial maturation in ex-bourbon casks made from American oak, Talisker undergoes a special finish in new American oak casks that have been burnt with volcanic rock from the Isle of Skye. The stones are heated through and added to the wooden barrels, which has a spicy and sweet effect on the Single Malt during the maturation phase. A real innovation!
