Talisker Storm 45.8%
Tasting Note
Tasted: Apr 2013
A softly intense, smoky and peppery nose. This is how Talisker should be! Vibrant juicy sherry with plenty of herbal and smoke notes. It’s wild…….. But at the same time quite civilized too! Lightly fishy with a spicy, perfumed orange note.
The palate is soft and succulent, opening with the young spirit showing some oily youthful cereal, followed by some gentle coatal/astringent-peat and fishy notes. The sherry kicks in on the middle adding herbal notes as does the intensity as the more mature spirit arrives. Lovely length with a touch of dark chocolate, crystalised violets and a lovely windswept coastal peat smoke as well as a lingering, lightly honeyed, spicy richness. Yes the palate has some rough edges but that only adds to the charm. If only the 10 year old was this good!
Please note that the branded Glencairn glass is not included with this bottle. It however can be purchased separately for £8.95
