A tempestuous coastal scotch of intense peat and pepper
An intense and untamed expression from Skye, Talisker Storm captures the wild, maritime character of its island home in a dramatically smoky dram. The palate delivers a powerful surge of fresh brine, peppery oak, and sweet maltiness, followed by a roaring, warm finish of peat smoke.
Stir all ingredients with ice in a mixing glass until chilled. Strain into a rocks glass over a large ice cube, and garnish with a flamed orange peel.

Founded in 1830 by Hugh and Kenneth MacAskill, Talisker has survived fires, financial crises, and remote island isolation to become one of Scotland's most respected single malts. Today, it stands as the oldest operating distillery on the Isle of Skye, celebrated worldwide for its signature sweet-and-smoky, pepper-forward flavor profile.
The Talisker Distillery was established on the remote shores of Loch Harport, where the coastal elements heavily influence the spirit during maturation. The maritime winds and damp sea air infuse the casks with a distinct, briny complexity that defines the classic Skye character.
