From the Isle of Skye comes this Talisker single malt, which has spent 18 years in casks which previously held bourbon and sherry. A sweet and smoky malt, a must have for any Talisker fan. If you weren’t already convinced, this fabulous dram picked up the title Best Whisky in the World at the 2007 World Whiskies Awards too.
Quite clean and fresh. There is a mixed fruity sweetness with a spicy character. The peat and smoke rise with notes of perfume and thick oak. Hints of Calvados and a touch of acidity with ground ginger.
Thick, rich and full-bodied. Notes of spicy, peppery oak, espresso beans and wood smoke. A little allspice creeps in, there is a certain zesty character lurking somewhere. The spice builds and builds with utter intent.
Long, with peppery oak.
Fabulous bottling. One definately to savor. The classic talisker profile is there although subdued as you would expect. Yummy. Worth the asking price.
As we are visiting Scotland Talisker could be tried???
I love whisky. I love Laphroig, Lagavulin, Glenfarclas, Kilchoman and many more. But Talisker 18 is what I had always imagined the perfect whisky to be. Every whisky lover should get to try this at least once
Delicious!!!!Manages to be smoky,sweet and spicy all at once...more subtle than Laga 16....very good dram this one.Voted "Best Whisky int World" in 2007......overall.....just superb!
One of my favorites. Smoke and spice, with a touch of sweetness. Would love to try a cask strength.
