Talisker Storm

Talisker Storm is a NAS expression from the Isle of Skye’s only major distillery — Talisker in Carbost, presenting the distillery’s powerful, peated maritime character at a higher strength and intensity than the standard 10-year, drawing on a specific cask selection designed to emphasise the storm-force intensity of Talisker’s Atlantic peat and brine character.

Talisker Storm was specifically crafted to reference the extreme weather conditions of the Skye coastline — the name evokes the most powerful expression of Talisker’s distinctive style. At 45.8% ABV without chill filtration the expression preserves the full natural texture and intensity of the distillery’s character. Browse all Scotch whisky at Wooden Cork.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Talisker Storm more peated than the standard 10 Year?

Not more peated in terms of PPM, but the specific cask selection and slightly higher ABV produce a more intense and assertive expression of the same peat character. The storm name references the intensity of the experience rather than a higher phenol level.

How does Talisker Storm compare to the 10 Year for beginners?

Talisker Storm is more intense than the 10 Year — the slightly higher ABV and the cask selection produce a bolder, more assertive character. The 10 Year is the gentler introduction; Storm is for those who already know and want more Talisker intensity.
