Tasting Notes by The Whisky Exchange
-
Nose
Rich and fruity, with plums, orange peel and toffee. Gentle smokiness and seaside character.
-
Palate
Sweet to start with toffee and fruit leading to darker, smokier notes.
-
Finish
Long, with a hint of chilli spice.

Producer's Tasting Notes
-
Appearance
Amber.
-
Nose
Rich and fruity – Victoria plums, greengages, perhaps dried orange peel – with some butterscotch or rum toffee and a thread of smoke behind. The smoke soon advances into the foreground and the toffee note is joined by a light mintiness. With water maritime characteristics emerge – dry boat varnish, edible seaweed. Still sweet; now with notes of iodine and the smokiness of an un-struck match.
-
Body
Full. Pleasant, smooth.
-
Palate
Sweet in front, then more assertive, with a whiff of smoke. The overall effect is warming. The development is towards smoke, coal-tar and toffee.
-
Finish
Medium length. Talisker’s characteristic chilli ‘catch’ in the finish is subtly present in the aftertaste.

Tasting notes by Annabel Meikle
-
Baked orange pudding sprinkled with cinnamon, pomanders and a trace of manila envelope. A silky mouth feel and develops into richer orange marmalade with burnt edges.

Tasting Notes by Dominic Roskrow
-
Toffee and rich peat smoke on the nose. The alcohol bite on the palate gives way to rich sweet peat smoke, some sea notes and plenty of peppery spice. Nicely rounded and complete. Some wood, too, suggesting its age. Like chewing honeycomb and smoky bacon at the same time. Long, spicy and peaty finish. Whisky doesn’t get much finer than this.

Tasting Notes by Dave Broom
-
Elegant with fascinating balance between smoke and subtle sweet fruit. Ever changing in the glass and on the palate. Gentle waves of flavour, superb balance and a classic peppery finish. Seamless.

This might be the best whisky I have ever had. Fantastic balance, smoke, sweetness and aftertaste. It is pretty much, perfect.

Classic Talisker notes of smoke, brine and pepper but with toffe/fudge and stewed fruit notes.

Absolutely perfect! My new favourite and everything I look for in a whiskey. Very smooth with no harshness at all allowing you to taste all the wonderful flavours that all compliment eachother. Rich and sweet with a non over powering smokiness and a peppery finish. Can still taste it a good 15-20 minutes later, just perfect!

This is a really solid whisky for those who like bold flavor. It tastes quite similar to Highland Park's 18 (which is also great) but with a little more smoke and spice. A warning, though, this is a whisky that novices probably won't enjoy due to the very extreme character. This is a whisky drinker's whisky.
