Talisker57 North Single Malt 1L Whisky
R1,499
About
A distillery-bottled cask strength Talisker, 57° North is deceptively smooth for a whisky at this strength, but still a muscular presence on the palate, with the pepper and chilli Talisker hallmarks very much in evidence. Picked up the top prize in its category (Best Island No Age) at the World Whisky Awards 2012.
Product Features
- Brilliant brassy gold. Opening sniffs detect a sweet, salty, maritime-style top note over granita biscuit, vanilla, chocolate, manuka honey and refreshing peppermint.
- After 3-4 minutes of air contact a dense blanket of sooty peat swamps the bouquet, followed by drier notes of white-pepper, kipper and dustings of cocoa.
- Immediately rich and warming in the mouth; entry features cream tea biscuits, then comes a flood of oily, peppery peat that fans out like a peacocks tail.
- The finish is vibrant, fresh, cough-lozenge like tailing off with Fisherman's Friend, brine, lingering sweet malt and late lanolin in the aftertaste.
- Showcases Talisker's trademark salt'n'pepper profile to stupendous effect.

If you were ever wondering...
...what provides the inspiration for these write ups, today's your lucky day. You're about to find out.
99% of the time it's the products. Unsurprising. But also so very corporate and predictable. And we hate that. So once in a while we like to draw our creativity from elsewhere, such as:
If E is the most common letter in the English alphabet, why is it so particular? Surely it should've been shaped like an I, just a single straight line? It seems excessive to have to draw the extra three horizontal lines, when really it could've been avoided.
If you know the answer, as in really truly know, please write to us at EisshapedlikeEbecause@onedayonly.co.za
Otherwise enjoy thinking about that too for the next three or so years.
