n:  Cheap port finish you've had over and over.

p:  Thin.  Too thin.  White pepper. Better than the average malt but not much.

n: Black grapes, spice, bread dough, and a hint of smoked pickle brine. Predominately port nose with some balsamic vinegar.

t: Initial is the overly strong port influence of blanched red berries and some tropical fruit. Mid-pallate gives you the tease of what Talisker should be like with the sweet smoke, leather, and salt. Finish is where is falls apart - overripe fruit, black pepper from a plastic shaker in Denny's, and some sour rag.

Not a good cask selection for Talisker. I love Talisker, I do, but this doesn't work and is out of balance and stale.  [C/C+ ]
