Talisker 15yo (SR 2019)

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).

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose 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.

Palate 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.

Finish Long and rich, but with a happy lightness, too.

Sweet
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.
