Talisker 21 Year Old Bottled exclusively for Justerini & Brooks
Released at £500 (£402.71 IB) and limited to 252 bottles, exclusively available via Justerini & Brooks, it is fitting that this 21 year old bottling brings together two defining threads of our history: Talisker, one of the most important distilleries in our whisky story and Port, a wine style deeply intertwined with our early merchant heritage.

MATURATION
This Talisker begins its life in Refill American Oak, before transitioning into expressive Port casks - a nod to our enduring connection with the great wine regions of Europe - and finally resting in a Puncheon, where the elements quietly marry themselves together.
SIGNATURE CHARACTER
Bottled at cask strength of 58.7% ABV, this is Talisker at its most elemental: confident, maritime and unmistakably of Skye. Yet the influence of Port brings an unexpected elegance - soft berry richness, delicate spice, and a certain vinous glow - complementing Talisker’s signature character rather than reshaping it.
THE EXPERIENCE
The resulting whisky reveals layers of antique wood, subtle cedarwood and gentle earthiness, lifted by the sweetness of dark berry fruits and a fresh herbal brightness. It is an expression of depth and nuance, shaped by tradition but emboldened by thoughtful experimentation.
A Distillery Intertwined with Our Story
Our relationship with Talisker spans centuries of curation and advocacy. As the oldest working distillery on the Isle of Skye, Talisker embodies the rugged beauty and elemental drama that have long captivated whisky lovers. It has been a cornerstone of the Justerini & Brooks portfolio - a distillery whose spirit we have championed across generations, and one whose whiskies continue to define the very notion of island character.
