An easy-drinking style, taking the distillery's classically rugged character and softening it out, while maintaining the smoky and sweet notes the distillery is known for. More approachable, but still definitely Talisker.Talisker Skye was introduced in early 2015, named after the beautiful island on which the distillery resides. This expression brings with it a more well-rounded and sweet flavour profile packed with fresh citrus, sweet smoke, peppery spice and traditional Talisker maritime notes. It's matured in a combination of refill and toasted American oak casks, with a slightly higher proportion of toasted casks. Perfect for those who perhaps find the classic Talisker flavour profile a bit too much, not to say that Talisker fans won't enjoy it too.

Founded in the mid-19th century, the Wiser’s brand offers a range of traditional Canadian whiskies. Wiser’s has been distilled in Ontario from its inception and has upheld the traditional production methods established by its founder. J.P. Wiser, the son of a Dutch farmer, created Wiser’s in 1857 near Prescott on the banks of the Saint Lawrence River in Canada. Seeking to produce high-quality whisky, he was meticulous in his choice of ingredients and wood for the casks in which the spirit should age. Today, Wiser’s is still handmade, blended for smoothness and aged in white-oak casks
Black Velvet first came out of the barrel in 1951. The brand was initially known as “Black Label,” but after Jack Napier, the original distiller, sampled the first batch, he changed the name to Black Velvet to reflect its uncommon velvety taste and smoothness. It’s sold in over 55 countries around the world. Using crystal clear Canadian water, plus the finest rye, grains, and corn, the whisky is painstakingly distilled, blended at birth, and put up in premium oak barrels to gently mature.
