Talisker Wilder Seas is the 2023 release of the joined project of Talisker and Parley to support the preservation of wild sea forests around the planet. Last year the partnership presented the 44 yo ‘Forests of the Deep’. This single malt is finished in French oak XO Cognac casks, and it is bottled in 100% recycled glass made from biofuel, resulting in a special green-blue bottle. Each bottle represents a £ 3 donation to Parley to support ocean preservation.
A touch of sea salt, a breath of wind on a sailing boat. Nose is however not the most expressive one, with some minor hints of yellow fruit and aromatic Mediterranean herbs, coastal ones. Some malty, bready notes.
The typical Talisker freshly crashed black pepper is very present and upfront, with tons of marine character, seaweeds, oysters, iodine, with some lemon peel freshness. Only at the very end a touch of sweetness, similar to Sauternes wines, which is very nice to clean the mouth from the previous sensations. A very rewarding palate, a nice experience.
Medium, nicely balanced and enjoyable.
Talisker Wilder Seas is a very split whisky; the nose is not very intense or memorable in any way, such as having the Talisker taste profile somehow "smoothed down" by the cognac finish. The total opposite can be said of the palate, where the typical coastal and black pepper notes are very evident and pleasant, with a final, balanced and rich sweetness. Overall an interesting product.
