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.

Lovely smoky briny and get the banana foam vibe, totally . Delicious , glad I risked buying this as I don't usually like phenolic peaty stuff , but I 'm getting used to it. ?????
Not what I expected - I only tried because it out of curiosity and because it was on offer. Having tried the 10 year old before this was softer and more mellow than I expected to begin with but with a subtle woody smokiness-a real depth of flavour so much going on with hints of spice and a sweetness too. Easy to drink and the taste lingers pleasantly on the palate. Also tried it with some strong cheddar and a blue cheese- perfect combination who needs port!
Lightly smoked, smooth with fruity overtones. Bargain
Delicious lovely on the pallet Not to heavy
I was kindly given a dram of this as part of an order and, in my opinion, it smells like coal tar soap and tastes like Jeyes' Fluid. I write this, not to denigrate the whiskey but to highlight how different some people's palates are. Most strange.
