Talisker 1978 - The Bodega Series 41 Year Old Whisky, 70 cl

An exciting and exceptional bottling from Talisker, this is the second release in the Bodega series from the Island distillery. It was distilled all the way back in 1978, when Bee Gees Night Fever was number one in the charts, just to give you a feel. Then, it was aged in refill American oak barrels before it was treated to a finishing period in six Manzanilla sherry casks over 100 years old from Delgado Zuleta, one of Jerez's oldest sherry producers. Eventually, once it reached the ripe old age of 41 years, the whisky was bottled at 50.7% ABV, in a release of 2,000 limited bottles. The maritime and fruity single malt also comes accompanied by a very stylish presentation case. ###Product DescriptionIn 1825 Hugh MacAskill of Eigg acquired Talisker House and the North end of the Minginish Peninsula on the rugged, beautiful Isle of Skye. Five years later he and his brother had built what was to become on of the World's most popular distilleries on the shore of Loch Harport. In fact, by as early as 1898, Talisker was one of the best selling Malt Whiskies in the UK.Tasting NotesPepper, wood smoke, fudge, raisins and smouldering driftwood
