Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine

air Nose

not sure if it’s the treatment that’s bringing out all this fruitiness—there’s pear liqueur and ripe apples—but it’s certainly quite fruity for a Talisker, and barely peaty. For now. With water: the maritime side surfaces, with sea water, seaweed, oysters, ashes, and a few drops of cider vinegar

restaurant Palate

more maritime now, salty, slightly sharp, with plenty of ashes and pepper. Very young. With water: there we go, we’ve arrived at a simple but good young Talisker. One to buy by the pallet and stash in a cellar for thirty years or more. Any volunteers among the younger malt fans?

timer Finish

fairly long, fruitier again, with the pear returning, some ash, and still that touch of cider vinegar
