Tastes

Reminds me of Storm but with a bit more smoke and brine. Easily my favorite of the set.

The standard Talisker flavored are here, but with them are rich spices that compliment the drink quite nicely.

Honey, peat, smoke, citrus. All flavored embrace in a complex dance that sets the tongue on fire. This is the perfect scotch.

I miss the peat and smoke. That being said, this is a very impressive pour. Vanilla, almond, rye, delicious.

Very nice. Smoke, oak, salt, all the things I look for in an Islay scotch. Bit of fruit, but the smoke and peat buried it mostly. My only criticism is the flavors don't seem as well balanced as something like a Talisker.

Rich and sweet is right. I will not begrudge anyone that prefers this whiskey, but this is not what I come to scotch for. I'll stick with the coastal distilleries. So personal preference aside, info appreciate objectively what was achieved here. Balancing a good blend of Sherry and oak, I'm getting pear, white grapes, a subtle hint of peat.

A lot smoother than expected. As everyone else states, peat, smoke, a bit of pear, and some pepper.
