  This is a very nice whisky, the only whisky of this strength that I can drink neat. Don't be afraid to put in a dash of water if that is how you like it.

  Just had this bought for my birthday. No one else is getting a sip... Mine.

  Wow this is surprisingly good for a no age whisky. For 57%ABV, it is very easy to drink. Excellent. Will buy again.

  Certainly one of the very best no age whiskies from the islands. Less peaty than e.g dark storm but with a more direct and very palatable approach. Not particularly smooth and clearly not shy but a good candidate for a best in class award.

  This whisky is very good. I'm not inclined to wax poetic about it, but I enjoy it. The palate is a little watery, but with an intact core of flavor. The nose is the best part of this whisky, very nice, but slightly too distant, like an old soul trying to be heard over the din and noise of youth. Woops, I guess I did wax poetic...

  This has to be the best Single Malt produced by Talisker.

  Govert from Groningen 27 May 2015

  Best whisky I''ve ever tasted, and I''ve tasted quite a few. Hits you smack in the face with the first sip, but immediately goes on to soothe you with a special smoky, peaty and spicy treatment that will target all your tastebuds and linger in your mouth for what seems like an eternity, after which it politely takes its leave to nestle itself into your heart forever. Perfection.

  A powerful (57% ABV) and bold but, deceptively smooth and very enjoyable whiskey. The tasting notes says it starts out sweet and explodes on the palate with smoke and pepper. And yes it does explode with a long finish. A very good no age statement expression of Talisker, I''m going to need another bottle to take home!

  Finally, in Canada - for triple the quids...

• Kevin H 22 April 2013

  Big and powerful but classic Talisker. The smoke on this is superb. Clearly a step up from the very good 10yo version.

  Delicious with Diet Irn Bru. Don't knock it till you've tried it. Sensational.

• Finnegan 11 March 2013

  Possibly the most complex Talisker I've encountered. Classic nose- tar, seaweed, a creosoted fence on a hot July day, lemon juice squeezed over fresh oysters, an old plastic fish crate washed up on a Hebridean beach. On the palate- more smoke mingles with honey, vanilla and pepper before the big spicy explosion leads to a long finish. The delicious fumes drift back up your throat to your nose. Stupendous, world class whisky. You won't regret buying this one.

  I'm ready to go back and pick up a few more bottles.

• Big Al 5 June 2012

  Just having a dram of this after having first had a(Talisker) 10yro, an 18yro, and an 07 release 25yro.This one can hold its head high in that lofty company. Highly recomended and will always have a place in my collection.A perfect finish to a little trip to the Isle of Skye! Enjoy!

  The only thing this whisky needs is a glass to put it in!

• Oliver 15 January 2012

  I agree with some of the other reviewers - this is a great whisky. It bears the unmistakable distillery hallmarks and is very smooth for a 57% peated whisky (in a good way). Perhaps a bit sweeter and not as peppery as the 10 YO but equally good in a slightly different hue. Mood alone determines whether I prefer the 10 YO or 57 North. I prefer both to the 18 YO and Distiller's Edition but still rank those versions as some of my favourite whiskies.

• Super Single Malts 13 January 2012

  Have just reviewed this and thoroughly enjoyed. Different to the 10 year old, unmistakably Talisker and a power house at cask strength. I will definately return to this bottling again, but I have to move on to others to try!

• Anonymous 9 January 2012

  Just visited the distillery and bought a bottle of this home. For me this beats the 10yo and 18yo, which are also fantastic...

• Whisk(e)y Lover 10 December 2011

  Truly a phenomenal whisky! For something in this price range it is an absolute bargain, such a myriad of flavors and a great proof. Probably will go down as one of the all time greats.
