Talisker 10 year old single malt is a classic Island whisky from the Isle of Skye. Aged for a minimum of 10 years in American oak casks, this welcome member of Diageo's Classic Malts series has been recognised numerous times for its excellence. Immensely satisfying stuff, with whiffs of warm peat blending with coastal air, balanced by orchard fruit and juicy barley. A spectacular after dinner dram.
It was an Editor's Choice at Whisky Magazine, a gold medal winner at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2017 and was awarded 'Best Islands Single Malt' at the 2017 World Whiskies Awards.
A fresh and fragrant nose. Through thick, pungent smoke comes sweet pear and apple peels, with pinches of maritime salt from kippers, seaweed.
It's a bonfire of peat crackling with black pepper, with a touch of brine and dry barley. A welcome delivery of orchard fruit provides a delicate and beautiful balance.
In a long finish, bonfire embers toast malt and crystallise a sugary underlay.
Good and doesn't taste like any other. Give your self some time to adjust.
My brother gifted it. After 3 pegs it looks pretty great. Loved it
Bought a bottle early on my malt journey about a year ago. It was OK. I revisited Talisker 10 recently and "Wow, has my palate evolved. I absolutely love it!"
I just bought it. First glass I'm having. Really not good.
Great whisky. in the beginning it's smoky, then it becomes like cold, damp, rocky beach smell. Very thick, oily. after taste it returns very sweet and cold aroma, reminds me cold black tea with a lot of sugar. Very long and sweet finish. fantastic whisky!
