 This quality scotch is so revered it has a cult following. Winning medals year after year, it is a great value and "must try" for its signature peppery finish. Talisker comes from one of the remotest distilleries in Scotland on the west coast of the Isle of Skye.

SUGGESTED CHOCOLATE PAIRING
Our favorite pairing is with the smoky, spicy Candela, however the Rio Caribe enhances the peaty & malty flavors adding a curious bit of salt.
SUGGESTED CIGAR PAIRING
Don't fight the pepper. The earthy flavors, slight pepperiness, and full body of the San Cristobal work well with the Talisker's pepper finish.
or try
The earthiness and peppery profile of the La Flor Dominicana Ligero creates a fine combination with the Talisker 10 with it's peatiness and peppery highlights.
or try
This matchup is interesting as the peppery Talisker is actually quieted and sweetened, and spice notes are enhanced in the cigar. The Talisker and the Brazilia are strong flavored, which makes this pairing successful, as a strong single malt can easily overpower a lesser cigar.
