I remember this one, I had a sample some years ago, let's put a score on it now. I imagine this one was coloured, and I think it's no older than 8yo at most. Anyway, it is golden with an amber shine. It smells spirity, peat smoke, coastal, salt, cod liver, dried seaweed, the usual peppery notes from Talisker as well as some heather, corn flour and crushed rhubarb stems. The taste is on sawdust, cinnamon, ashes, ginger, peat smoke, caramel, dark chocolate, vanilla, charcoal. This is Talisker much how it should be at young age. A real treat for fans of costal wild peat notes. The finish is long and smoky, peap and black peppercorns. I have added water to this one time before, and I will not do it again. I just doesn't improve on any level.
A celebration of the environment in which it was produced, perfect: 8
Next tasting: Highland Park Distillery
