Talisker 8 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (Diageo Special Release 2021) (70cl, 59.7% ABV)

Talisker 8 Year Old (Special Release 2021) is a bold, high-strength island malt from the Isle of Skye, released as part of Diageo’s 2021 Special Releases collection, Legends Untold. Matured for eight years in heavily peated refill casks, it delivers a punchy Talisker profile—coastal smoke, peppery heat, and a vibrant undercurrent of fruit that keeps it mouth-watering and lively.

The label artwork nods to Talisker’s sea-battered home with an imposing sea monster motif, tying into the series’ theme of distillery stories and folklore. Powerful, characterful, and built for peat lovers who like their whisky turned up to full volume.
