Talisker super-premium releases from Diageo have been uniformly excellent. This is no disappointment a bit more sherry influence has made this an absolute cracker. Roars across the palate, then caresses the tastebuds on the finish.
Nose:
A full and rich nose with a lot of aromas. Sweet cooked fruits like apples and cherries, vanilla, peat, iodine, earth, menthol, leather and even some farmy notes.
Taste:
Oily and chewy. Very powerfull with sweet fruity notes at first, a lot of peat and iodine, vanilla even some sour notes appear.
Finish:
The finish is very long and powerfull with all the aromas you had in the nose and the taste. A fight between sweet, dry and sour notes. Fruits, peat, herbs, salt.
