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 liked it. Enough I think. I'll get some more when I'm done.
This felt very heavy, with a heavy sweetness that lingers longer than I want. Not much going on with this one at all. I frowned after each sip.
A friend brought a bottle to a wine tasting...needles to say I didn't taste any of the wine as I was busy taking care of the Storm. Great taste...very mellow! Love it!
Brought up on Skye, Talisker is my favourite whisky and this does not disappoint. Well worth a try if you like the peaty smoky flavour of the Skye dram. And the round bottomed glass is kinda cool too!
as someone who has probably sampled 3/4 of the malts out ther over the last 45 years I can honestly say. there is no such thing as a bad malt only you having a bad day
