Nose is all Talisker. Salt, wood, sawdust, cardboard box. Palate adds salt and pepper. The finish lets it down. Not as good as the 10. Probably good after dinner drink.
n: Don't have a Tal 10 to compare at the moment but the 175th is either on par or slightly less. Perhaps more peat.
p: Nothing to write home about (but apparently something to write LAWS about). Peppery with a bit to much solvent. Finish is worthless. Not feelin' it. Pass the 10.
t: Creamy malt and vanilla character (heavy bourbon barrel influence), smoked leather, and grey sea salt. Spicy and sweet finish, lingers nicely but not very deep. Easy to drink, a bit softer than 10yr. [B/B-]
