Talisker Neist Point

Tasting

How it drinks

Sight

Light to medium amber gold; bright and clean with medium legs. Named after the dramatic lighthouse peninsula on the western tip of Skye

Nose

Fresh, maritime-forward Talisker — emphasizes the coastal and citrus aspects of the distillery character. Sea breeze, brine, and fresh kelp. Lighter smoke than Storm or Dark Storm. Bright lemon and lime zest with green apple. Black pepper is present but balanced by the freshness. Honey and vanilla from the oak. A brighter, more uplifting Talisker that evokes standing at the Neist Point lighthouse with sea spray in the air

Palate

Fresh and vibrant. The maritime character leads — sea salt, brine, and coastal freshness. Bright citrus (lemon, lime, green apple) gives this Talisker a zesty, energetic quality. Black pepper provides warmth but does not dominate. Light woodsmoke. Honey and vanilla sweetness. Medium-bodied and refreshing — the most approachable peated Talisker alongside Skye. Originally a travel retail exclusive

Finish

Medium-long finish with sea salt, citrus, and gentle pepper. Clean and maritime. The freshness persists — a bright, uplifting close rather than the volcanic intensity of the 10yo or 57 North
