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.
