Whisky - Talisker 10YO 45.8%
Talisker is the only distillery on the isle of Sky.
Talisker IS THE ONE THAT STARTED IT ALL. I’d enjoyed BELLS OR glenfart or whatever before but not been captivated by malt. I was sitting with an X GF one evening and had purchased a bottle of this for Christmas 2002 and we were both smitten with the smoky fluid. Luckily my affair with the girl didn’t last and my love for whisky did so all ends well.
Nose: burned twigs and lemons with a dash of TCP. Looooooovely This could come from Islay. Rugged.
Pallet: bonfires, not as intense as I remembered but smoky. Some kind of fruits.
Finnish: lingering but
whats happened to the pepper? I’m told that in newer bottlings from second fill casks its back.
Comment: this bottle was a gratefully received gift from a customer. It was purchased last year and newer bottles are said to have more pepper and the original oomph about them that I love.
Score: 83 but if it returns to what it was 87£
