Talisker Distillers Edition

Too smooth and plain, perhaps because it was the last drop of the bottle

Was expecting to like this more than the 10, and the nose doesn't disappoint. Talisker peat and brine, balanced with red jammy fruit. Unfortunately, on the palate the fruit seems to overpower the peat. Syrupy sweet fruitiness. I do get the peat coming back on the finish, but I think I want more of it on the palate. For me it's not clearly better than the 10, but maybe its equal. I quite like it a lot, but about the same as the 10. Thank you @ContemplativeFox for this sample. Strong start to the samples you sent, and I'm looking forward to diving into the rest of the smorgasbord. By the way, what year release is this one?

Absolutely solid!

Sherry depth + talisker's signature flavor. Excellent

Amazing single malt. Maybe among the best of all
