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.
As an Irish Whiskey drinker I'm not overly fond of smokey/peaty flavors, however, I did enjoy the Talisker 10. Quite a potent drink as it has been said but the flavors are quite distinct from each other creating a evident in the long finish also not overly expensive. I would definitely keep a spot on my shelf for it in future.
Zwaar overroepen deze Whisky hoor, niet veel beter dan de gemiddelde blend!
Rather disappointed in last bottle of 10 year I bought (March 2014 Canada). Missing the level of peat I have come to expect from them. Can't detect a Lot number on the bottle. Will I buy it again? Yes, with hope it was simply a bad batch.
The people below who state this is the worst whiskey they ever tasted on not Scotch drinkers I think they better stick to umbrella drinks-- because first off this is not a bery smokey or even very peat tasting but for the 12 year or under it's one of the best--- the negative reviewers should stick to bud light or diet coke because they sure are not Scotch drinkers
Especially if yo can get it for reduced price in supermarkets, it is unbeatable. I have got bottle before and now I bought another one. Consistent bottling. This is my go-to whisky.
