This smelled and tasted more like an Islay malt with lots of preserved fish and briney notes. Reminded me of Caol Ila on the nose. It gets a bit more woody and spicy on the palate. Not much of the citrus and tea that normally make me think of talisker. It didnt matter if it had the things I thought were "characteristic" of talisker, it was still damn delicious.
