Mina kommentarer:
En ny tappning av Talisker! Bara att hoppas att den kommer att finnas i standardsortimentet.
Doft: aningen stickig (rengöringsmedel), torkad aprikos, tång och rök
Smak: rund, sötma, nötter, rök vitpeppar och torv
Eftersmak: ganska lång, peppar, torv och viss sälta
OBS! Ska hållas kvar en stund i munnen för optimal pepparkick
Min poäng: 87 p
Tasting notes från Malt Maniacs: Officiella tasting notes:

The Talisker 18yo (45.8%, OB, Bottled +/- 2004) is a relatively new expression.
Nose: Round and sweet with a hint of paint thinner. Then some more organics emerge. Leathery and meaty. Bigger and bolder. It settles down again rather quickly, though... However, when you give it enough time, it grows saltier and spicier again - stock cubes! Sweet coffee. It starts nice and grows even nicer with time - just the way I like it.
Taste: Hey, is that some peat behind the sweetness? Yes it is! That's very pleasant. Big and spicy on the palate too. Lots of sweet liquorice after some time as well. After a few minutes the character changes quite radically, growing extremely smoky.
Score: 87 points - extremely pleasant and complex, especially if you give it time.

Colour: Amber
Taste: Sweet in front then more assertive. Overall warming. Develops coal-tar and toffee.
Finish: Medium length. Characteristic TALISKER chilli ‘catch’. Some smoke in the aftertaste.
