  • Talisker 18 Year

    Single Malt — Islands, Scotland

    Reviewed August 25, 2021 (edited September 26, 2021)
    4.5
    4.5 out of 5 stars
    Honey and lilac and baby's breath (the flower) on the nose. Palate punches with citrus. But it lingers to sweet. The peat also comes at the end. Leaves a lot of tannin, but it's balanced. This is really good. Smoother than the 10 but not too smooth. Not significantly better, but it is really fantastic.

    Fruity nose. Bubble gum. Lots of citrus and light grass. Sparkling cider. Complex but smooth. Really good.

    So similar to the 10, you might as well stick with it. Peat smoke is less. Tannins are elevated. Lacks a touch of sweet I hoped for. Still really good, and just different enough to be distinct. I like it more than some of the Cairdeas iterations.

    Sweet. Light peat. Thin and watery feel. Every sip seems muted or dulled from what I expect. All the right notes are there...just hard to tell what the notes are. Weird experience. Will try again because I got a bottle, but it's probably not going to be my go to.

    I like Uigedal better, but this is also fantastic. More burn, less fruit than it's competitor from Ardbeg, but also richer in some ways. Cheaper when I bought it, too!

    I might like this more than the 10 year. I might even like it more than Highland Park 18. Depends on my mood. Certainly not the same fire as HP and not as much peat as L10. Still, it's distinctively Laphroaig, only slightly mellower. Richer. Less wild. It's iOS rather than Android.

    Wow. Not your typical laphroaig. Not much peat. Lots of fruit. Cherry. Long finish. Kicks with the alcohol. Beautiful color with a rose hue in the warm amber.

    Sweet. Islay but without the peat allows some other flavors to shine. Sweet. The 50% ABV leaves a kick. Sweet. Vanilla and honey throughout, but vanilla forward and honey later being the development. Sweet. Some fruit and floral. Oh, and did I mention it's sweet? Grainy/cereal sweet.

    Holy moly! This is good. First there's an immediate burn. But it passes into honey and cherries with a slight bit of peat and salt. After the initial punch, it's so very smooth. Lingers with a little leather.
