Skye Is The Limit Cocktail
The scotch martini cocktail is a unique twist on the classic martini cocktail that replaces standard gin or vodka with Talisker Skye scotch, bringing a smoky dimension to the drink. Unlike a conventional martini cocktail, which has a clean, botanical flavour, this version features nuanced peat and delicate sea salt notes distinctive to Talisker Skye.
