Talisker Distillers Edition

2010/2020 Edition Nose: Berry fruit, honey, vanilla and a hint of peat. Green apple, saline, tobacco and a little green/herbal note Palate: Caramel and sugary sweet, fruit - apples, berries and plums. Salt, campfire, vanilla, dried fruit and more of the tobacco, peat and dry smoke. Finish: Long finish. Black and white pepper, salt/saline, earthy. There’s still a load of sherry fruitiness, oak and tobacco. OK, I’ve had the 2002 and the 2007 editions and both have been fantastic. This is a sweeter and fruitier dram than the earlier editions, but an absolute cracker of a sweet peaty dram. Punches above its weight and a complete bargain for the quality. A wee beauty!

Sweet and smoky but not overly so.

Very smooth and dark fruit

Talisker always makes the day better. 2021 edition; 45.8%

4.0 stars - Excellent; 750 ml This is exactly what it should be. The classic Talisker profile is perfectly balanced with the sherry. Unlike most Talisker, this one becomes better with air and time. The Sherry note becomes louder and more refined. 2021 edition.

I have the 2021 edition. It is briny with light smoke and a bit more peach or apricot than the traditional Talisker. Some people find it a bit sweeter than I do
