Talisker Distillers Edition

Nose: black licorice, cherry, cinnamon, fennel, vanilla cream Taste: peat, vanilla, pepper, woody, allspice, burnt toast, black cherry

Sherry blunts the usual smoke and salt of the base 10yr but in a pleasant way. Candied apples, sea salt, and dark fruits. Great dram you could drink all day. Nose: glazed bbq meats and pineapple on the nose, like a Hawaiian luau. Palate: see above.

A- amber+1, low viscosity N- light peat and smoke, honey, toffee, vanilla, apricots, dried fruits, berries, licorice, sea minerals P- light spicy-sweet-smoky arrival, full, rich, oily, honey, toffee, vanilla, apricots, dried fruits, rum cake, briny, sea water, wet oak F- medium finish, sweet-smoky-mineral aftertaste

Not my favourite Talisker, though I must admit it is a very fine peated Malt for lovers of the genre.
