      after movement: Talisker apricot, iodine, maritime smoke, red clover juice, herbs
      very nice the iodine medically and yet sweet, beautiful salty and fruity iodine

      Barrel aromas delicious fruity, chocolaty, with wood and spice
      long and humid ... what more could you want

  2. Slàinte Mhath scored this whisky 87 points Administrator

    Famous for its 'chili catch', Talisker 10 from the Isle of Skye is said to be 'made by the sea' - a suitable analogy. Its mineral, phenolic nose reminds of fresh, salty seawater with iodine and seaweed. A light sweetness of citrus fruits combines with restrained peatiness. The arrival is strong with a rich note of malted barley and dried fruits, leaving a peppery chili burn on the palate. A real 'afterburner' that finishes pleasantly warming, briny and spicy. The only downside is the excessive addition of artificial colorant (E150a), combined with heavy chill-filtration.

  6. Fuchur scored this whisky 86 points Expert Junior

    A typical Talisker. Smokey and surprisingly complex for its age of 10 years. Differs from batch to batch but in a whole it's a consistent and solid quality Scotch. Interesting enough to buy again and make the 10yo a standard in my bar.
    • Nose
      86 86
      First: Smoke (peat) but not a overwhelming "wall" of it.
      Then: Spices esp. pepper, salt, nuts, some citric fruits which I can't define and wood
      Overall "edgy"
    • Taste
      86 86
      First: Some more smoke and spices, oak
      Then: Young fruits (green apple), caramel and malt
    • Finish
      85 85
      Medium to long finish, the peat comes back.
      Spices and less pepper than before
      All in all dry but warming.

    Good peaty whisky to drink.
    • Nose
      Peat (not to much), Caramel
    • Taste
      The peat gives the whisky the power that it needs.

  9. Collegiate scored this whisky 86 points Expert Junior

    Enjoyable and good at what it does, if but a bit one-dimensional. It doesn't get any more peppery than this. The peat is active too, perhaps more so than when I had it 4 years ago. But frankly I don't get a while lot else out of it. This makes for a great daily drinker if you can get it cheaply as it is in some markets. However I wouldn't go into this expecting lots of complexity.
