Member Ratings and Notes

Sku

Nose: Light peat with that Talisker richenss.
Palate: Sweet, peat, sherry, then waves of flavor. A nice oily mouthfeel. The finish gives a nice balance of sherry and peat.
B+/A-

Chris

N: Purple smells.
P: Very delicate initially, gingery peat with candied fruit, evaporative. Nectary.
F: The peat gets bigger in the finish, wisp of chocolate, very drinkable for 57%.

Adam

Y'know, palates are a fickle thing -- so who are these assholes assigning ratings to whiskey, when their preferences can shift unexpectedly? Especially that asshole who changed his mind and upgraded this delicious malt from a B to a B+/A-.

-- Old Notes -- I like it, but these older Talisker expressions never quite do it for me... I'm not sure why. Lacks complexities I find in younger expressions. Salty ocean stuff with mild smoke. B

Andy

N: Port Elleny + floral cherry

P: Hot and delicious, butterscotch cream, sweet corn

Fuji

A very briney nose that reminds me of a fishing village. More brine on the palate with peppers and fruits with a long salty finish.

Blind retaste:

N:Tea, citrus, fruity and a bit metallic

P: Lemons, hints of cinnamon and licorice

F: Long briney finish

B+
