Tastes

The nose: tea with lemon, honey, very light peat The pallete: more black tea, lemon peel, peat smoke The finish: medium finish, medicinal peat, slight sweetness,medium body. By far the best release of Johnny Walker. Not overly challenging, but interesting. I don't find black tea notes in many scotches but this one hits it home.

The nose: salty beach air, orange juice, overly ripe pear, smokey The pallete: floral honey, pipe tobacco, salt water The finish: long, heavy, very salty, and just enough peat. Overall this is one of my favorite drams. It's definitely not for the beginner. Talisker is very balanced. The sweet fruits, saltiness, and smoke compliment each other.

The nose: sweet like citrus fruit canned in syrup, green apple, very slight medicinal peat but not smokey. The pallete: starts peppery and young, light floral sweetness, turning into brown sugar slight smoke the finish: short, sweet, smokey Overall for the price this is a great dram. Interesting enough not to be a background drink but easy to drink. I will purchase again.
