Originally released for the Travel Retail market, Talisker's Dark Storm is matured in heavily charred oak casks, imparting yet more smoke and spice to the already intensely smoky whisky. A fantastic release from the distillery on the Isle of Skye.
Smoky bacon, black pepper and red chili, dressed with a touch of orchard fruit and golden malt.
Huge oak influence, with a big burst of smoke on palate entry. Beyond that, though, you find red fruit, citrus and fresh honey.
A very, very long finish, peppered with honey-roasted nuts.

Excellent whisky. Smokey, interesting, complex
I love this version of Talisker. Typical bold Talisker with extra smokiness. I wish it was easier to get a hold of.
Superb, especially if you are a lover of smokiness and a nutty finish. My first bottle, but won't be my last.
I got hold of a bottle at an airport, and I haven't seen it outside travel retail yet. Enough smoke to keep the average island whisky fan happy, and that slight saltiness of Talisker. I would give it five stars if the finish were a little more interesting. Regardless, you will not be disappointed.
Great whiskey. You have to wait after a few sips and than the real smokiness comes out with a hint of pepper and the after taste is great real smooth with a small taste of honey.
