Whiskies from 'Talisker Distillery'

Read the Whisky Magazine tastings notes for whiskies from Talisker Distillery.

• Talisker 10 Years Old

Always a classic, though I still miss the 8 Years Old.

• Talisker 10 Years Old

Less peppery than in my memory. As if the spicy outburst on mid palate has been tamed. A bit harsh too. Seems to have lost its volcanic temper.

• Talisker 18 Years Old

Loch Harport on a winter’s day, gale force eight! Less peppery than younger versions. Complex, endearing, balanced. 18 seems a perfect age for malts.

• Talisker 1975, 25 Years Old, Cask Strength

Less instantly explosive than the regular 10. The flavours in the 25 are more tightly combined and take longer to unfold. You pays your money...

• Talisker 1982, 20 Years Old

Doesn't sound enjoyable? You bet it was.

• Talisker 1986, The Distiller's Edition

Not for Talisker purists, but a highly distinctive interplay of whisky and sherry.

• Talisker 25 Years Old

Bold, subtle, sweet yet smoky. Class.

• Talisker 25 Years Old

Rich and luscious. Needs a dash of water to cut spirit harshness. The marine influence is overwhelmed by wood but in a charming way.

• Talisker 25 Years Old, Special Release 2005

Excellent, although I was slightly put off by the fishiness. I think all fish are stinking, slimey creatures however, so I am admittedly biased.

• Talisker 28 Years Old

More medicinal than other versions. If matched with oysters, add barbecued sausages as the French do in Marennes-Oléron.

• Talisker The Distiller's Edition Amoroso Sherry

Sensational (both literally and figuratively).
