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.

Ocean of flavours in one beautiful dram
This is a nice whisky, but it's not Talisker. Corrupted for The Damned American Market, where they have cake with their beef. Diageo, you are going to hell!
Salt, smoke, herrings, hard to beat!
The best dram . . . period. Not as peaty and smoky as the Islays but mush more flavorful and complex than a Speyside. As some single malts change for the worst, I can only say that the Talisker 10 has gotten better in the 30 years that I've been drinking it.
I am sorry but this whisky tastes horrible... it tastes like some medicine with salty sea iodine water mixed together. Makes me wanna puke seriously. I go back to my Gentleman Jack, this is some over hyped glorified horrible tasting scotch. Horrid!
