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.
Very good whisky...
Talisker 10-year-old just never fails. Always enjoyable and heart-warming, and much to be preferred to Talisker Storm or Talisker Skye.
Not what it used to be: This was a lovely scotch in 2005, but nowdays it lands closer to Islays in the $35-$40 range
Really nice 10 year old whisky,best on the market. Amazing flavours of peat,chilli/pepper, sweetness.. really gorgeous stuff... though the Talisker 18 is sublime!!
It’s ok, the peat is there and the salty taste is there. some sweetness at the beginning and too peppery afterwards. The taste is a bit complex.
