Talisker
Talisker Storm Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Isle of Skye, Highlands, Scotland, United Kingdom
Enjoyed this, though it does comes off a little harsh, which can perhaps be attributed to its youth. A NAS, but as I understand, the blend is at least as old as the standard 10 year old. It definitely has a pretty similar profile - pepper, brine, peat smoke, and citrus. Would be good to taste them side-by-side given the general consensus that the Storm's essentially the 10 taken up a notch. There's a really "sweet" inner core that pushes through to peaty, somewhat-medicinal finish. Medium length. Really liking this profile (particularly the saline character) so I'm definitely going to be checking out the rest of the range.

Atop heady iodine, wet mossy and pine bio, green apple sliced thin, melon, lemon and lime peel, smoky glazed ham with pineapple, igneous grind, dried sunflower blossom, jasmine, fall maple leaves, roasted corn with sweet chillies, cinnamon, and the faintest matchstick sail memory scents. Instantly warm and welcoming ginger candy, caramel, leather, graphite, cinnamon oil, hazelnut, pine sap, mint, calvados, cherry stem, eucalyptus, tangerine oil, lime, and jalapeño. Intense and lingering, filling the mouth beyond its capacity to taste. Really lovely Talisker manifestation conjuring metal and stone textures like some dark tale of briny ghosts! #Talisker #scotch #scotchwhisky #scotchwhiskey #whiskey #whisky #TaliskerStorm #singlemalt #Isleofskye #Scotland #madebythesea #classicmaltsselection #Islay

Nice blend. Much more straight tasting than their Islay cousins. I miss the peat and smoke flavor.

My mouth feels like is on fire. Like a lightning bolt just scorched everything and left s smoky, salty, ashy, pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Scotland, Ireland, leprechaun, scotch bonnets, Jamaica. what?

A milder Talisker. Still has classic spicy notes. Serve as an aperitif.

Mellows out with some water, but very smoky on the finish. My first foray into Scottish whisky
