Color

Old gold

Nose

Coastal notes (per usual Talisker). Smoke and vanilla fudge. Salted caramels. Unripe apples.

Peat and barley. Salty smoke. More apples, and some fruit preserves. Sweetish. Orange zest.

Finish

Medium and smooth. Seaweed and fire.

Comments

In an interstellar burst, I\'m back to save the universe.

No question is a Talisker, but is typically too little, rather well balanced to appeal to a wider audience. Commemorating 175 years of Talisker Distillery.

Maritime smoky notes with a complex sweetness. Sweet and nutty, phenolic and smoke in the body. Spicy, smoky and peppery finish. Absolute a good whisky, but not a top Talisker.

Color

Deep copper

Nose

gut ausbalancierte Nase, leicht erdig, suesslich-mild, kaum Pfeffer.

Taste

schoener Talisker-Pfeffer, ansonsten durchaus eher zurueckhaltend, wenig Torfrauch, dafuer mehr Suesse.

Finish

gut mittellang, zwar keine Waermeexplosion, jedoch ein sehr waermender und leicht scharfer Abgang.

Comments

guter Standard-Talisker, der jedoch nicht an den 10- oder auch 18-jaehrigen heranreicht

Color

Tawny

Nose

Deeply sweet with smokey aromas. It has a wonderful maritime character.

Taste

Full-bodied,opulent,powerful malt opens sweetly on the palate, then grows to smokey and confident.

Finish

Rich, warming finish, sweet pepper and honey that is smoothed out by the cask finish that is full of charachter and maturity.

Comments

This is one that you would want to savour, it may nor be around long.

I love the fact that this is from the isle of skye. It has plenty of sweet, smoke, peat, spice and most of all a long finish. Almost a numbing on the tongue and at an 45.8 abv.
