{"product_id":"talu-cognac-cask-english-whiskey-70cl","title":"Talu Cognac Cask 8 Year Old English Whiskey, 70cl","description":"\u003cp\u003eTalu Cognac Cask uses rye, barley and maize rather than the malted barley of most English whisky, which gives a softer, sweeter base for the cask influence to work on. Talu matures the spirit in level-four charred American white oak, then finishes it in first-fill VSOP Cognac casks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat Cognac influence is what carries the whiskey, bringing ripe fig, French vanilla and a patisserie-like sweetness, with poached pear, toffee and pistachio on the palate and a finish of honeycomb and candied ginger over mature oak. It is bottled at 43% Alc., is natural in colour and non-chill filtered, so nothing is stripped from the texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis whisky sits nicely at the approachable, flavour-forward end of English whiskey: smooth enough for someone finding their way into cask-finished whiskies, with enough going on for a considered after-dinner dram. It also makes a straightforward gift for a Cognac or bourbon drinker who is curious about English whiskey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTalu is a modern English whiskey brand built around grain mash bills and first-fill cask finishes rather than the Scotch single-malt template. Every expression is matured in charred American oak, finished in a hand-selected cask, and bottled at natural colour, non-chill filtered.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Talu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56200319795585,"sku":null,"price":67.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0698\/3896\/2981\/files\/Taste_Talu_Cognac_Cask_1.webp?v=1788187213","url":"https:\/\/www.digidistiller.com\/products\/talu-cognac-cask-english-whiskey-70cl","provider":"Digital Distiller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
