Matisse is named after pioneering French artist Henri Matisse. According to Matisse Spirits Company, he was ‘…a revolutionary painter that infuses eastern culture into western paintings’. Matisse whiskies are presented in very modern packaging and embrace blends, blended malts, single malts and single cask bottlings. The principal range – sourced from Speyside and the Highlands regions – comprises an NAS blend, 12- and 21-year-old blends, a 12-year-old blended malt, 15- and 19-year-old single malts, and a 1972 single malt.
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.

The Balvenie DoubleWood is a 12 year old single malt which gains its distinctive character from being matured in two wood types. Over the period of maturation it is transferred from a traditional oak whisky cask to a first fill European oak sherry cask. Each stage lends different qualities to the resulting single malt ~ the traditional casks soften and add character, whilst the sherry wood brings depth and fullness of flavour.
