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.

Bad, bad, bad. I will never have this brand again.
I think storm is not so harsh as the 10yr, very drinkable to be kept for a special occasion.
the previous review is not for this bottling, its actually for DARK STORM, let the storm pass and head for the 10 year old
As a BIG fan of Talisker 10 I was expecting more of the same and perhaps even more iodine & smoke.. but what a letdown, not in the same league at all. Quite a boring dram, hard to believe its even Talisker.
Terrible medicinal taste to this garbage. What a waste of a good bottle and cork
