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.
a beautifully balanced whisky if Islay/highland is to your taste. Understandably popular.
from nose to mouth to eyes to feet-this whiskey tops them all
This whisky has no balance, soot and asphalt. Am I drinking or resurfacing a road? I can see where Johnnie Walker gets that nasty wang I dispise.
After reading some reviews and a recommendation I sprang for a bottle. The first taste lingered for a long time and I kept thinking... what is that? It was more than just the smoky after glow of a house fire, there was canvas and rubber in that house. Then It came to me visually. Burnt sneakers.
Cheapest Talisker on the web (oh yeah, Talisker is very tasty)
