Talisker 10 Year Old Bottling Note

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.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose: A fresh and fragrant nose. Through thick, pungent smoke comes sweet pear and apple peels, with pinches of maritime salt from kippers, seaweed.

Palate: 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.

Finish: In a long finish, bonfire embers toast malt and crystallise a sugary underlay.

Talisker 10 Year Old Reviews

Smoky and medicinal

A lightly salty, quite smoky and very medicinal whisky. I'm not disappointed at all

Lots going on

Ufff, it’s a difficult one as all the tastes come in and out so quickly, it’s difficult to pinpoint the flavours. Very floral nose then smoke. Lots of smoke on the palette with a salty bite, which becomes much more briny and oily with some added water. Finish long with lots of black pepper neat or with water. Overall, it’s a good one

Bland and insipid

I wouldn't even give this away: what have they done to this once-loved whisky? Bland and insipid.

A great whisky.

Took me a while to get the taste for, but halfway through the bottle, LOVED IT. bit of smoke and a bit of bite. Very enjoyable whisky.

Great whiskey.

Really enjoy this, but I feel it doesn't benefit from adding any water, whilst that does open-up some of the front end flavours, I think it takes away from the finish.

Overall really enjoyable but just shy of being fantastic.

not as of old

Used to love Talisker but based on this latest offering I won't be buying this again, what was once a delightful attack on your taste buds is now rather bland by comparison. It's a shame because it used be one of my favourite go to whisky's.

Brilliant Drop

I have tried the older Talisker 10 and yes, it was a little lighter in color and bolder in palate. Change sometimes works for the better. I found the newer version more complex with similar peat, smoke and savoury palate. Too bad this improvement was reflected in the price. Delicious.

Quality dropped from precious release

Nose: 2 words, fish marker

Taste: peaty, spicy

Finish: same old

Drop in standard

Sorry but really poor. Used to love this but unsure what's happened. Compared it to JW green label and it tasted very rough and unrefined.

Great nose but the quality is fading

Talisker 10 still has one of the most inviting noses in all of the Scotch I've sampled. However, the actual juice is becoming very tired. I fear recent batches have been relying on 2nd/3rd re-fill casks which is robbing all character from the whisky. Then at the bottling plant, enough E150a is added to make an Oompa-Loompa plush. A subtle amount isn't noticeable but this quantum leaves an unmistakable burnt sugar note and leaves me with an instant headache.
Shame. I hope things improve as unfortunately Talisker in the IB market is rarer than hen's teeth.
