Talisker Storm was released in early 2013 as a no age statement whisky, which was matured in specifically selected refill and toasted American oak casks. An intense and vibrant dram, the Storm offers up plenty of distillery character alongside some smokier depth and complexity.
With a classic Talisker profile, a depth of beautiful flavours and a very reasonable price point, this is an ideal single malt for those thinking of exploring malts from the Scottish islands.
Initial brine, but not as abrupt as the 10 Year Old, quite creamy by comparison. Banana. Banana angel delight? Window putty, hint of sticking plasters and barbecues, citrus. White pepper develops towards the bottom of the glass.
Thick and mouth-coating with wood smoke, brine, some tin and chilli heat too.
Red chilli peppers and oak dryness with a hint of embers.
A welcome addition to the Talisker range, and probably the smokiest whisky to be produced on the Isle of Skye.

I am a Lagavulin 16 fan. Second, I really like the Oban 14. But the talisker Storm, for the dollar, is the best I've found. It's my go-to, as I am a weekly scotch drinker and the value is tops on my list. I have impressed my Laga and Oban buddies with this, when I don't tell them the price point, the insufferable bastards they can be. It is a win, win, win proposition.
It's beautiful and so, so smooth, love it, best I've tasted to be honest, The saying 'Whisky is the water of life', is so true in the case of Storm, got as present but will need to resupply, do not know why there are any negative reviews, thank you Talisker
A great NAS single malt for the money. Perfect for sipping around a bonfire. I use this as a beginning for the journey down smokey scotches.
Fucking horrible stuff. Undrinkable
This is a wonderful whiskey for its price point. The negative reviews must be from other distilleries. Tasting this for the first time brings you to the sea. As if you're drinking a whiskey on the shores of a land touching the north Atlantic. It is smokey, but not like an Islay, and has a clean finish that lingers, but only briefly. It is well worth a try, you may be surprised.
