Delicious, appetisingly dry and fully mature. This beautifully orchestrated variation of Talisker has a lingering finish which cannot outstay its welcome.
Appearance: Warm gold.
Nose: Unreduced, a quiet nose, not hugely assertive, yet quite maritime. Fresh ship’s varnish. Faint nose prickle. Spicy, briny, with distant smoke.
Palate: At bottled strength, a gentle start, immediately building in intensity. Slow and sweet, then kicks in peppery and hot, with significant balancing bitterness and salt, and a little smoke.
Finish: Long, warming, slightly bitter and very drying, with a little smokiness.
Alcohol Content: 45.8%
Volume: 700ml
Review: “Initially salty, then sweet and spicy on the nose, with summer berries, heather honey, and an earthy note, plus subtle peat” – Gavin Smith, Whisky Advocate Fall 2012.
