Talisker 45 YO: The oldest Parley to date and a closing chapter

Talisker is undeniably one of the world's most well-known and highly regarded distilleries. Here you can read more about the opportunity to invest in the brand new release Talisker 45 YO Glacial Edge, which carries exciting potential. But before you do, consider joining us on a trip to the Isle of Skye and see where these bottles originated.

The Parley Range - A Final Chapter

 For almost 200 years, Talisker has been located on the shores of Loch Harport and has been dedicated to the sea and raw maritime nature as an essential part of the distillery's DNA for generations. Prompted by this bond with the ocean, in recent years Talisker has partnered with Parley to put the oceans on the agenda. Parley For The Ocean is a global environmental organisation and a network of creatives, scientists and innovators who, through successful collaborations with other iconic brands such as Dior and Adidas, have launched initiatives to restore vast amounts of marine life.

Together with Talisker, Parley launched an ambitious project to restore and protect 100 million square metres of marine ecosystem before the end of 2023 - funded in part by three limited edition releases under Talisker X Parley. All of this has now culminated in one of the oldest whisky Talisker has ever released, marking the final chapter for the Talisker X Parley series of Talisker Wilder Seas, Talisker 44 YO Forest of the Deep and now Talisker 45 YO Glacial Edge.

Wild Experiment In Very Limited Quantities

Talisker 45 YO Glacial Edge is a whisky that has been on a journey. For 96 hours, the casks of precious and rare drops have been given their final finish in the biting Canadian cold, where crushing, frosty snow has given the casks new character and contributed to this unique expression.

Talisker 45 YO has been matured in ex-Canadian white American oak whiskey casks and only 2,455 bottles have been produced for the world. Now you have the opportunity to secure investment in this small quantity.

How Talisker 44 YO Forrest Of The Deep Has Performed

Last year, Talisker released their 44 YO Forest Of The Deep, and according to wine-searcher.com, it is off to a great start in terms of price development. Since June 2022, the average asking price has increased by around 10%.

Understanding Whisky Investment With The DCI Model

When it comes to whisky investment, there are a number of different characteristics that influence whether a whisky is suitable for investment. These attributes relate to the audience the whisky is aimed at, and the more of these audiences that are targeted, the more attractive and worthy of investment the whisky is.

Talisker 45 YO Glacial Edge is definitely aimed at the whisky lover, also referred to as the 'drinker' - albeit the more wealthy part of this segment. In addition, other investors and whisky collectors alike will potentially find interest in this whisky: Talisker is undeniably an iconic distillery, the whisky is of high quality, the 45 YO is only produced in 2,455 numbered bottles and also offers the opportunity to collect an entire series, marked here by the oldest Talisker to date.

Of course, there are several factors that influence the pricing, but if you want old whisky, Talisker 45 YO still seems to offer a lot of value for money.

Invest Far Below The Market

The average price is £4,599, which converted to euros and minus UK VAT comes to €4,138. If we look at wine-searcher.com, the cheapest can be acquired for € 3,962, while the average asking price is € 4,612. Your investment price here is € 3,050*. In other words, you are getting into the Talisker 45 YO investment far below the market.
