Talisker Expedition Oak 43YO (700ml)
Bottle No. 917 of 1,830.
In 1830, the MacAskill brothers rowed across the Atlantic from the Isle of Eigg to the formidable shores of the Isle of Skye. There they ended one adventure and began another - Talisker. The Talisker Xpedition Oak series is a new adventure entirely: a whisky shaped by nature. The series was born to celebrate wild whisky-making with a collection of rare aged single malt scotches that have been shaped by the natural elements - finished in casks including staves that have been on a wilderness journey to reveal a truly rare and unique whisky.
Talisker staves have travelled with renowned adventurist, James Aiken as he single-handedly traversed the same route travelled by the rowers of the exhilarating Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge – the premier event in ocean rowing that sees competitors race across more than 3000 miles of untamed sea – from La Gomera, Canary Islands, to Antigua. After being aged for over 4 decades, the Talisker 43YO Xpedition Oak was finally finished in 10 casks, each of which included a few staves that traversed the harsh and beautiful elements of the Atlantic with wild spirit James Aiken – this is Talisker’s finest expression of Made by the Sea to date.
