Talisker has stood on the shores of Loch Harport since Hugh and Kenneth MacAskill built it in 1830, and for much of its history it was the only distillery on Skye; the maritime setting is what gives the whisky its trademark sea-spray and pepper. Prima \u0026amp; Ultima exists to capture exactly this kind of liquid: the “first and last” casks a master blender sets aside as irreplaceable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the nose, waves of mango and tropical fruit, heather honey, brine, and a curl of gentle peat smoke.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the palate, decades in oak show as candied orange, dark honey, cracked white pepper, and softened maritime smoke.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe finish is remarkably long, drying slowly through sea salt, oak spice, and a lingering coastal smokiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter nearly four decades the peat has receded into the background, leaving a poised, fruit-forward Talisker that bears little resemblance to the punchy 10-year most drinkers know — the whole point of a 37-year single-cask bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServe neat in a copita, without water, and give it time in the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is this whisky?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn ultra-rare 37-year-old Isle of Skye single malt from Diageo's Prima \u0026amp; Ultima collection, distilled in 1984.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the specs?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e37 years old, distilled 1984 and bottled 2021 at 51.9% cask strength (103.8 proof), 750mL, presented in a collector's display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does it taste like?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTropical fruit, honey, and brine on the nose; candied orange, pepper, and soft smoke on the palate; a very long, salt-and-oak finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow should you enjoy it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeat in a copita, no water, with plenty of time to open.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is this release notable?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt bottles some of the last 1984 Talisker stock at natural cask strength as part of the prestige Prima \u0026amp; Ultima series.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Talisker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50028275761400,"sku":"19225","price":3999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0352\/3140\/0072\/files\/talisker-37-year-1984-prima-and-ultima-single-malt-scotch-whiskey-750ml-keg-n-bottle-3620109.png?v=1784592243","url":"https:\/\/thebourboncentral.com\/products\/talisker-37-year-1984-prima-and-ultima-single-malt-scotch-whiskey-750ml","provider":"Bourbon Central","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
