Recently Talisker made a partnership with Parley,  a company that is dedicated to preserve the ocean's Kelp and other environmental sea causes. To celebrate that partnership, and to raise funds for the ocean, a new, beautiful looking expression has arrived to my home bar, the Talisker Parley "Wilder Seas". Even the bottle is made of 100% recycled glass  from biofuel, and it is matured in ex Cognac cask. To make it even better, it comes at 48.6%abv. On the nose, this is incredible. Salted Chocolate, salted caramel, everuthing salted.  Aromatic smoke. After a couple if sips the aroma changed into coffee with milk. Honey. On the palate it is marvelous. Coffee, toffee. Salt has risen only to become a pepper bomb. Aftertaste is smokey, peppery. Ginger and toffee. Very straightforward but amazing. Overall, at this price point, you just can get any better whiskies. The Cognac Casks have given this dram the bitter chocolate / coffee / cocoa profile which i find very interesting since those are not usual notes you can find on a Talisker. A wonderful single malt, my score is 95 over 100. I love Talisker.
