Have you ever had a whisky aged in casks that had their char layers polished away by rocks and water? This eight-year-old expression of Talisker single malt, bottled for the Diageo Special Releases 2024, was finished in stone-spun and lightly re-toasted casks. Intriguing stuff, presented at 58.7% ABV.
