This damn near blew may head off my shoulders. TCP, coal tar this is highly medicinal. Must be watered down to bring the oils out of the dram. Very warming but take care if you take your dram neat

Taste The Chocolate
I treated myself to a bottle of this when visiting the Talisker factory and couldn't believe how lush it tasted. Just the tiniest drop of water to release the flavour and the finish is rich and has a hint of dark chocolate on the palate after the sea-spray smokiness. A fine malt indeed.
lovely dram
One of my favourites just sipping it now.. for a cask strength it is velvety and an intense sweetness.. the oily warmth is extremely pleasant in the finish.. for a cold night.. kind of Ardbeg's pretty sister and shes a bad girl . lol
