What's in a name? Talisker 57° North whisky is called whisky because it's produced in Scotland. Were it from America it would be spelled Talisker 57° North whiskey, rather than whisky.
The nose is very pungent and full. Notes of sour citrus develop with rich peat smoke. Hints of peppered oak and notes sea spray pounding stones and a little kelp. The palate is thick and full. Creamy manuka honey and lemon juice, notes of peppered oak and spice, a little butter perhaps and plenty of dry wood. The finish is long with black pepper and dry oak.

Good Talisker
More soft and round than usual, but still good :-)
Way better than 1 1/2 !!
Whoever rated this 1 1/2 stars is a moron. This is one of the finest malts to come in at a very reasonable price point I've tasted.
