The coastal qualities in the 10 year old have been almost entirely transcended, but a persistent bit of salty ocean spray keeps the island quality alive.
But what’s amazing is the fact that you can easily take big mouthfuls of this powerhouse. Sophisticated combination of strong peat and fruity sherry influence.

House Review
Nose:
Bread forward and complex - rising sourdough, bright honey, light lemon cream and a bite of pepper.
Taste:
Rich on the palate, especially considering the low proof. Moderate, viscous mouthfeel. Honey, faint pepper, big brine notes that carry with the sweetness magnificently.
Finish:
A faint bit of ash and the tiniest wisp of peat. Long finish that combines salinity, sea are, buttercream and lemon curd with grace.
Overall:
Decadent and wonderful, it's Talisker executing enviable balance and a great toolset of flavors here. Spendy, but worth it.
