Talisker Skye 45.8%
Tasting Note
Sherry
Tasted: Mar 2015
The nose is dry, dusty, herbal and lightly tarry peat. Full and rich with what appears to be a subtle boiled sweet sherry note which develops into an almost Pedro Ximinez-like dried grape and prune note. Well balanced by some crisp citrus.
Soft and earthy with a touch of herbal peat and soot on the palate. Like the nose some sherried dried fruit is noticable, but it sits in the background. Quite robust and full with a light salinity and developing hints of orange and burnt wood. Very long with camphor and light eucalyptus notes mingling with the dry peat and tannins. In conclusion: Seriously impressive. The combination of oils and soot stick to the palate long after a sip has been taken.
