The Uncut and Unfiltered Podcast

We start by tasting Talisker's 10-year-old expression and discussing how it compares to the old 10-year-old. While we find some differences, we still appreciate the smoky and salty notes that are characteristic of Talisker's whiskies. Ian then surprises us with a bottle of Talisker's 18-year-old expression, which he got for a bargain. We savor its rich and complex flavors and talk about how it differs from the younger expressions. We also touch on the expansive core range that Talisker offers and how they're experimenting with different releases to cater to different tastes. From limited editions to cask-strength expressions, Talisker has something for everyone.
