  Can definitely taste the pepper at the end. The smoky flavour I've got to get used to it. Overall I think it's really good.

  It's not an entry-level whiskey. It has a strong body and rich notes and will leave you remembering trips to the seaside.

  First talisker ever; I'm in heaven. Smoky sweetness and left with warming pepper. I'm converted and will be back for more.

  A great 10 year old, the best on the market. Lovely peaty, sweet flavours with hints of pepper/chilli... amazing 10 yr old from Talisker. 18 yr old is totally sublime!

  Sweet, peppery with a distinctive sea-brine, this is a very very enjoyable dram. What it lacks however, is the smokiness of which there is but a subtle hint beneath the citrus rich body. The smoke comes out on the long, long finish, almost as an afterthought. I enjoyed this a lot, but not as much as I was hoping to...

  One of my favourite whiskies ever. I am someone with a complete lack of creativity, and only started drinking scotch a couple of months ago. So as you might have expected very rarely does a whisky actually invoke imagery in me, but this does it and is the only one i have tasted so far to do so . As I drink it, it makes me think of eating freshly caught fish cooked over a wood fire, sitting on a cliff watching the waves crash against the rocks. The only word I can use to describe this whisky is magical. The aroma is sweet yet pleasantly smoky. The initial taste mostly consists of brine and peat smoke, but as you let the flavour develop in your mouth, it evolves into a lovely sweetness, with nice hints of wildflower. As you swallow it again evolves, bringing out pepper notes. This whisky may not be the smoothest out there, but all the flavours still harmonise perfectly, but in a way that each flavour gets its turn to shine, like an excellent orchestra. Whilst I probably wouldn't recommend this to someone who has never tried whisky before; to anyone who enjoys whisky at all, I cannot recommend this whisky enough.

  Not too bad whisky unless you were lucky to know the older style bottling. It used to be my no. 1 dram, complex and a smoky punch in the teeth. But in current product I would not even recognize it is a Talisker, very sweet and tamed on palate with somehow artificial aftertaste. I am so sad to say goodbye to this distillery after so long-term relationship. Not to forget, I started chasing the 2000 - 2010 bottles in auctions which is the only way to taste the real Talisker as I know and love it.

  What else can be said? It's a truly excellent scotch. Remarkably complex, featuring a variety of great flavor contrasts. The smoke is there without being overpowering, and the taste is a vibrant combination of sweet malts, medicinal iodine, and a lingering brine accented by delightfully surprising pepper on the end. Talisker is one of the first scotches I distinctly remember enjoying, and it's a must try for any whisky enthusaist.

  definitely a salinity to this. the smokiness is the aspect which comes through most strongly, followed shortly by a blooming heat. the flavor profile here evokes rough & windswept rocky coast...

  Sadly, Jimvic73 is right. I’ve just bought and started a new bottle of Talisker 10. Not a hint of smoke, peat or brine – just Oloroso sherry. Smooth and very sweet, with flavours of raisins, toasted brown sugar and white pepper. If you like uncomplicated, heavily-sherried whisky, this might suit you - but It’s not what I was expecting and it’s not why I bought the stuff. If you’re looking for a smoky, peaty malt, then delete Talisker 10 from your shopping list.

  What has happened to the peaty aroma? I have been drinking this brand for over 50years very disappointed at the latest bottle. Why change a the taste?

  I have only ever bought bourbon, however, after trying Talisker 10 at a bar recently i couldn't resist buying a bottle to have at home. Absolutely fantastic, especially if you like a smokey peat!

  A salty and slightly fruity nose with medium peat, surprisingly sweet and very moorish. A long peppery finish. A superb whisky for a budget under ?40
