Tastes

Unquestionably good. But is it 50% better than Jim Beam Black? No. So it loses on value. And it's worse than Buffalo Trace. So it loses in its own market segment as well.

Fine. Crazy boring. Feels half-assed, like a blend assigned to a junior associate. The crazy char is dominant, the whisky is young, and it's hardly well balanced. Wish I brought something else home instead, like any $40 bottle of bourbon. Doesn't live up to the core Talisker at all.

Sherry is gorgeous, but it's way too hot and while the bourbon shows promise the port makes no sense and the whole thing is poorly blended.

Wtf is wrong with everyone. Hot and young, harsh finish. Decent complexity, but largely only due to the ABV. Much better than Eagle Rare 10 though.

It's fine. But Ardbeg Wee Beastie is better, this is watery.
