Talisker 18 year old Isle of Skye Single Malt Whisky

Talisker is known for its unique spicy flavour with an above average peat content (while not as peaty as an Islay malt). The "spicy" character (also described as "firey" or "salty") comes from the water, malted barley, distilling method, barrels, and aging process used by the Talisker Distillery on the Isle of Skye. In 2007 Talisker 18 year old won "Best Single Malt In The World 2007" at the World Whiskies Awards.
