Talisker Distillers Edition

If you have had the regular 10 year old you know it’s amazing. So naturally I was expecting this to be really good. Well it was not really good it was just okay. It is sort of like when someone hypes up a movie a lot and then you see it and are let down, well that’s how I felt. It sort of added this weird note that I can’t quite figure out. Maybe it’s a sour sort of moldy note that is off putting. This is not a horrible whisky but it for sure could have been so much better. Considering how all the other Diageo “Distiller’s Editions” turned out I am disappointed in this one.

So delicious. Not so super peaty. Rich and yummy. Love it. My father-in-law liked it too.

On the first sip the peat jumps out at you, then the second sip offers up a salty butterscotch with a fantastic light finish. A great whisky all around.
