WHAT: Talisker 10 Years Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky
WHERE: Skye, Scotland
WHY: Online, the Scottish island of Skye, in all its digitally stroked majesty, looks majorly breathtaking. It’s hard to imagine that such a place could have a liquid embodiment, but Skye’s lone distillery, Talisker, is up to the job. The 10-year-old is definitely peaty (smoky), but that’s not the only story here. Add a drip of water and the sugar and spice come out to play. Qualities of tar, rainwater and sweetness all combine to deliver a message in a bottle from a distant island.
PRICE: 750 ml/$69.95
AVAILABILITY: At selected liquor stores (product #249680)
