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.
I don't know that everyone else is drinking but this is horrible. Opened the bottle and all i smelled was gauze from a medicine cabinet. Tried a couple of glasses to give it the benefit of the doubt and very medicinal tasting like no other. Ready to pour it down the drain.
I am a huge fan of Talisker 10 for ten years since I was gifted a bottle for my 30th. I confess though, I take it with Ginger and LOVE IT! it is the foundation of my interest in whisky. I'll try the Oban as its the penultimate "classic" on the list for me. Bottoms up!
one of the best whiskies in my opinion would recommend to any whisky lover .
Unequivocally the best value scotch in its class. Most reviews from reasonable sources are spot on with regards to their tasting notes. Huge peaty nose. Peppery, spicy full palate and massive lingering finish that warms your soul. Tasting through a Riedel single malt glass. Excellent.
We have a winner!
