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.
Imagine a dark stormy night off the rocky coasts of Scotland. The air replete with sea salt. The camp fire burning fiercely on a diet of cut peat. A spirit woman rises out of the fire, wrapped in mist and smoke. She reaches and grabs your bottle of fine, highland scotch from your hands, and pours it generously over her ghostly white belly as you watch the whisky run off her womanhood like the surf off the craggy rocks below. Silently she beckons you to her, bringing your stubbled cheeks between her smooth, silky legs.... Yep - that's pretty much what it tastes like.
It's like being at an orc hen party in deepest February with a depressed bride weeping into a cold bag of chips. Rough, rowdy, and miserable.
