Forget the silly descriptions of the flavours. Buy a bottle, rent a cottage on Skye, and wait for a cold, wet, evening. (Not usually a long wait.)Light a fire, pour a large one, and enjoy it slowly.

Crispy caramel banana sweetness in front with a big kick of pepper dryness in the middle then a peaty top note. This one you can roll around and around your mouth for a long time picking out the different levels. The texture is right in the middle between light and thick, perfect for rolling.

Enjoyed this very much. Not as peaty as some of the islay malts, but very nicely balanced all the same. The nose is alluring and wets the appetite, the palate is robust with sweetness and peat at the same time, but the finish is the best - peppery with a long driving warming finish. Exceptional.

Green pepper, soda, tabasco sauce, moldy wood, cheap leather, cheese, banana, baby's puke(?!) Very sweet entry, moldy, peat, spicy, smoke, sour. Pepper dry finish. It took me sometime to get used to it, but now I LOVE it...

This whisky is absolutely gorgeous and like it or not, makes the best whisky sour I've ever had.

Unfortunately I found this to be overly peaty. I drank it, it was decently enjoyable, but I will not be purchasing it again.

Can't go wrong with Talisker, if you like smokey whiskeys you'll stuggle to find a better one than this, the balance between sweetness

How can Americans claim this truly unique malt as ' like a bourbon'! This relatively new 10 yo is a lot drier than the original and not quite as overwhelming. It is however a truly great and utterly unique fabulous SCOTCH whisky - thank goodness!

I like this malt its depth is slightly peaty but not so imposing as the renowned Laphroaig none the less a wonderful malt from the SKYE,heavens above we should all try this one.

Fantastic scotch! This was my introduction to the world of scotch, and it did not disappoint. A bit sweet with a caramel taste but plenty of smoke and saltiness to balance it all out. Excellent neat or over an ice cube or 2.

This is NOT an Islay single malt, it is SKYE! and a might fine one it is. Thoroughly recommended if you like your peppery peat taste.

Producer's Tasting Notes
Appearance: Brilliant gold.
Nose: Powerful peat-smoke with sea-water saltiness, the liquor of fresh oysters, a citrus sweetness.
Body: Full.
Palate: A rich dried-fruit sweetness with clouds of smoke and strong barley-malt flavours, warming and intense. At the back of the mouth is an explosion of pepper.
Finish: Huge, long, warming peppery finish with an appetising sweetness. |
