Martine Nouet
85- Nose
- By the shore undoubtedly. Fishing net. Seaweed bonfire. Tangerine. Vanilla.
- Palate
- Robust. Neat and open. Malty. Peaty. A lot to tell.
- Finish
- Pepper breaks through a veil of smoke. Totally Talisker.
- Comment
- More medicinal than other versions. If matched with oysters, add barbecued sausages as the French do in Marennes-Oléron.
Dave Broom
90- Nose
- Fragrant, slow developing, complex nose: heather blossom, malt toast, hearth. Scented and slightly herbal: elegant and powerful at the same time.
- Palate
- Excellent texture and mouthfeel mixing rich oily malt with gentle fruit and all-embracing peat smoke. It has an elegant muscularity.
- Finish
- Long, smoky.
- Comment
- Amazingly little wood impact for a whisky of this age. Not the most robust Talisker but a cracker nonetheless.
