Product Description
A bold single malt that has captured the wildness of its windswept home on the Isle of Skye, Talisker 10 Year Old is a smoky, maritime dram that has gained popularity around the world. The nose brings powerful peat smoke with hints of sweet citrus and sea salt, complemented by notes of peppery spices, vibrant fruit, rich smoke and fresh oysters, before a lingering, peppery finish.
Always a benchmark. 90 points. Serge Valentin, whiskyfun.com

Comment
Another that should need no introduction. The thing to look for in Talisker, as with all smoky whiskies, is sweetness that give the requisite balance to the drying effect of smoke. Underneath Talisker's smoke, which ain't as all-pervading as Lagavulin, is a sweet pear-like quality. When young there are notes of the land: heather, moor, sweet seaweed, and a finish that has a distinctive cracked black pepper hit.

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.

Enjoyable but far from my favourite. Initially I found it quite harsh and difficult to drink but it's much more enjoyable with a dash of water.
Very strong.Didn't like it. Must have some sweetness.long odd finish.Felt medicinal
Wonderful! I usually don‘t like smoky malts, but this is a great balance between smokiness and sweetness, while being very smooth, with a nice bit of acidity. Drink near, or with a tiny bit of soda water to unlock the flavours.
Very Smooth, Excellent Whiskey
One of my favourites. Great balance and flavour. Drinkable all day long. Maybe slightly out done by the 18 year old but I’ve always got a bottle of this to hand. For me the perfect dram.
