Talisker 1999 Distillers Edition (Bottled 2010)

Hi, my name is José and i am a talisker fan. I was dictating a whisky course and the house host asked me to review one of his whiskies. Excitement was felt right away. He grabbed his 1999 D.E. of Talisker and i knew i was going to have a nice time. This is actually a very different Talisker, specially on the nose. It is finished in Amoroso casks. As always, 45.8% abv, tawny color. On the nose, bacon, bonfire, vanilla, salt, cherries, coastal, maritime aroma notes. It is very sweet but also salty and also peaty. Great. On the palate is beautiful: cake, toffee, pepper, MINT LIQUOR (lovely), peat. Amazing. Finish is very long, herbal and salty, very peaty. Earthy peat. Heather peat. Overall this is a spectacular dram, didn't make it to a perfect score but it was close: 96/100. Slainte!
