Mina kommentarer:
En underbar Talisker. Sherryn gör att den lyfter lite mer än vanliga Talisker.
Doft: rund, sherrysötma, aningen rök, madel, vanilj?, banan
Smak: söt fruktighet, sälta, tjära, vitpeppar i slutet och rök
Eftersmak: lång mild rökighet med aningen peppar
Min poäng: 86 p
Tasting notes från Malt Maniacs: Officiella tasting notes:

I compared the 1986 DE to the Talisker 1989/2002 Distillers Edition (45.8%, OB, TD-S: 5DP).
Nose: Complex. Wood, sherry and coffee. Lighter and spicier than the 1986.
Some peat in the background. Very entertaining and surprisingly accessible.
Subtle fruits on the surface but something evil lurks at the bottom of the pond.
Palate: Ouch - this is a tad disappointing. Very dry. Minty fresh. Peppery prickle.
Woody finish. The nose can compete with the 1986 DE, but the palate surely can't.
Score: 85 points. I had it in the upper 80's before I tasted it. Not really my style.
I have to say these two versions are very different from eachother. So much for 'house style', I guess. But then again, the're a distinct difference between the 'old' 10yo and DE and the 'new' batches; in both cases the noses of the latest bottlings performed within the Talisker parameters while the palate fell a bit short.

Colour: Deep gold
Taste: The Amoroso cask-wood curbs the expected pepper flavours and mixes them with a rich sweetness.
Finish: Peat and smoke finally triumph over luscious, deep, sweet notes.
