    78. More peaty than expected. A lot of peppery kick from the onset. Didn't turn into a tastier flavor anytime afterwards. Disappointing vs my expectations.

    81 - spicy after it leaves mouth for a while. Smooth though. Neat that I have a bottle that's been discontinued. Will need to drink it sparingly! Wonder what the new Gold Reserve tastes like compared to this.

    85. Totally appreciate the significantly complex taste of this scotch...and that it's not at all peaty like the 10 year. Definitely something I'd like to get in my cabinet. Don't let the nose fool you...much tastier than it smells.

    79. Everything about this scotch is nice. Nice nose. Mild w a slight kick. Tasty. But...unexciting. I won't turn down an offer for a dram and would drink it over other choices...but it won't be on my preferred list.

    84. Great smell. Much smoother than 12. Not sure it's worth the price to buy for home.

    82. Solid choice. with all the great scotches I've been trying had to lower my rating on the 12. It'll always be a solid choice, but my palette is starting to enjoy more complex scotches.

    78. Found this rating in some other tasting notes. Don't have any other comments listed, but rated it a 78 in 2012.

    Just got my own bottle. Not opened yet... 82. Don't have tasting notes on this. Rating of 82 is from a couple years ago. Will need to give this a new chance... Look forward to updating notes soon!!

    84. Tried this at Reserve 101. Need to confirm this is the one, but might want this in my collection. Update 9/2014 - Opened my bottle. Only slightly less great than I remembered (but isn't it often that way about things?). The traditional Talisker peat is still there, with a smoother, sweeter beginning, middle and finish. If you're struggling with peaty malts, finish a bottle of Distillers Edition and you'll be on track to appreciate the big-boy peats!
