Notes & Reviews

Jonkers

posted 1 Dec. 2012

Jonkers gave this whisky 86 points

Color

Deep gold

Nose

Light peat smoke and very salty. Also malt and a hint of leather. Caramel and fresh like mowed grass.

Taste

Peat and liguorice. After that the sweetness of vanilla and also anise and some chocolate.

Finish

in the beginning very peppery. Then liquorice, sweet apples and raisins. The peat smoke remains but is not annoying at all.

Comments

Drinking this whisky you don't experience that full pepper-explosion as in the Talisker 10 years old. This edition is a little more friendly but evenso very, very good stuff.

Color

Deep gold

Nose

Citrus fruits, peat and wood are the first things I get. Everything about this screams warmth and comfort on a cold, wet, windy day. Dry on the nose, but less of an alcohol prickle than I anticipated. Lovely stuff.

Taste

The smoke and dry wood are obvious, the citrus fruit comes through later and there's that typical explosion on the tongue that we all now Talisker for. Great thing to taste. The peat is there but it makes sense for a whisky of this type. Who wouldn't like this now that summer is over?

Finish

Long lasting and ever so warming. This is Talisker at its best. Peat and vanilla sweetness, spice and malt, citrus fruit and oak. The gums recover about halfway through the finish after which a warm, gentle aftertaste remains.

Comments

Talisker makes uniquely recognizable whisky. Anyone will know which brand it is in a blind tasting. That's commendable and it makes one always remember this great distillery. This expression is no exception. Keep it coming I say.

Color

Amontillado sherry

Nose

The first thing that hits me here is lemons! In a Talisker? The peat is still there though. Very unusual.

Taste

The lemon peat theme continues but the peppery explosion is greater than even in the 10! The mouthfeel is quite creamy and coating. Very nice but very unexpected.

Finish

Wow that pepper really bites now! All the lemon and peat is still here.

Comments

Really surprised by this one that was a sample from Rene. Very unexpected lemon flavours plus more pepper than anything I've tasted

Color is gold and in the nose(neat) I smell seaweed, peat, pepper, spice and ginger, very nice so far; the palate(+w) is creamy with salt, lots of pepper and oil; green apples(?); lots of pepper in the finish, salt and....pepper, eh...pepper and spice!
Still a very nice ~~pepper~~ eh ...whisky!

Surprisingly smoky, and you can nose the alcohol. Very mellow in mouth, very good. Some smokiness, some spices, sea. Works well with oysters, shrimps, mussels and other seafood. Should work with rawpickled and smoked fish as well.
