Talisker 10 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 45.80%
9 Always a classic, though I still miss the 8 Years Old.

Single Malt - Scotland - 45.80%
7 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 10 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 45.80%
Once again balance struck between seemingly contradictory elements.
Talisker 18 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 45.80%
9 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
Single Malt - Scotland - 59.90%
9 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 1981 30 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 57.30%
8 The best so far in this series of 30yo Taliskers but to be nit-picky about it just a little more activity from the cask would have elevated it still further.
Talisker 25 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 57.80%
8 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
Single Malt - Scotland - 54.20%
8 Anenticing combination of sweet and warm.AnHebridean welcome dram. Would also workas a wakeup call. Very more-ish.
Talisker 25 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 54.80%
3 Lacks expression when neat. Water tones the bitterness down and
releases a refreshing minty whiff.
Talisker 25 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 45.80%
9 A drop in strength from the Special Release expressions but a massive upping in complexity. An instant classic.
Talisker 25 Years Old, Special Release 2005
Single Malt - Scotland - 57.20%
7 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
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.30%
8 More medicinal than other versions. If matched with oysters, add barbecued sausages as the French do in Marennes-Oléron.
Talisker 30 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 49.50%
7 A pleasant dram but it does have the expected nerve. Alcohol is perfectly
mastered though. But one could expect better from a 30 Years Old Talisker It does not taste Talisker.
Talisker 30 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 53.10%
7 A well structured dram. More appreciated neat than diluted. Water
enhances oak and bitterness.
Talisker 30 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 45.80%
8 Great age but a little grippy. Undoubtedly a great dram but not a patch on the 25 Years Old.
Talisker 57 North
Single Malt - Scotland - 57.00%
8 The polar opposite to Talisker 18. Rugged and warming.
