Talisker 10 year old 45.8%
Tasting Note
Code: L6 151
Btl: 2016
Tasted: Apr 2017
The nose opens with the subtly rich and treacly sherry with hints of dusty peat, orchard fruit, prune, salt and orange. The sherry is quite dominant, but there’s plenty of character on display with a touch of tobacco, earth, liquorice, anise and peat smoke.
The palate is full, rich, and like the nose, quite heavy on the sherry with a slight bittering from the wood. However the gentle peat smoke and astringent coastal notes balance the rich, pruney dried fruit and treacle. Very salty finish with a noticeable but pleasant astringency and hints of burnt wood, pepper, orange conserve and peat smoke on the finish.
