From Diageo's Special Release 2019 series comes a particularly marvellous 15 year old Talisker! Matured in freshly charred American oak hogsheads, it's got spice, sweetness, smoke and sea breeze running through it - and looks like the coastal notes are reflected on the label (in keeping with the 'Rare by Nature' theme of the 2019 Special Releases).
A seaweed iodine note is the first to spring from the glass – but it’s sunny and inviting, not industrial and heavy. Kelloggs Cornflakes, honey-roasted cashews, tangy cinnamon, warm nutmeg, and caramel notes build on the sense of sunshine, while an undercurrent of peat smoke brings depth. Water rounds it all out a bit and gives more of a velvety impression.
The rush of sweetness is a real surprise – on the front of the palate there are peach notes, raisin and perhaps red cherry. Then it’s all about that rich spice, along with the peat – a delicious abutment of pepper heat, bright allspice and rolling smoke. With water, it gets even sweeter and a little quieter, but still really tasty and mouth-filling.
Long and rich, but with a happy lightness, too.
One of my most favorite whisky
Agree with previous speaker. This is beautiful! One to really savour.
Nose: Sugary sweetness, along with malty pear and seasalty peat. It doesn't come with the usual peat you expect from Talisker, it's more subtle but still a Talisker. Palate: Very sweet and in the background lingers the Talisker peat. With water the malty vanilla increases on the nose, and the oak spice grows on the palate. A Very Nice Dram. I do love my Talisker.
