Reviewed August 25, 2021 (edited July 6, 2022)Talisker 10 rounded out with red fruit sweetness. Nose: Bright red raspberries up front, undercut by rich brine and misted thoroughly with peat smoke. Palate: Nice vicosity but a little thin. Meaty with jammy red fruit, sprinkled with freshly ground black pepper. Finish: Medium length, sweet heat finish.99.99 USD per BottleTotal Wine & More -

Reviewed July 1, 2021 (edited March 23, 2023)I love the 10yr and the storm so this was logical next step. I gotta say Talisker seems to be one of the most volatile scotches in regards to pricing. I see it drastically different across the country and even in Texas I see wide variation. I also have to say Talisker is by far the most toffee driven profile I have encountered which I love. I mean smoked Heath bar is stamped all over the line. I think this provides a level of candy store comfort that draws so many admirers to the brand whether on a conscience level or not. This is the smoky malty goodness of the 10 yr wrapped in fruit sweetness. Its very tasty but imo the finishing dulls and flattens the notes of the 10 yr. Kinda comes off like a blend if you know what I mean. It is no doubt delicious but not worth the price bump to me......87/10087.0 USD per Bottle -

Reviewed June 30, 2021 (edited October 5, 2021)A sweeter Talisker 10. The sea is just a bit more muted by the sherry, but definitely present. Nice price point also. -

Reviewed June 14, 2021 (edited October 5, 2021)Love this expression. Very smooth. The sherry aging acts as a sweet blanket. A little bit of the smoke, peat, and salty iodine kelps trying to come out but is covered with the sweet sherry wine. Rich and luxurious. -

Reviewed March 22, 2021 (edited October 5, 2021)Of the few Talisker expressions I’ve tried I have yet to be disappointed so looking forward to this 2020 DE. The wine barrels are showing their influence in color, with deep ambers making this NAS seem very old indeed. Nose is very prominent with salty brine and iodine first popping out looking for attention. If you close your eyes you would swear it was a dirty martini with extra olives. Over ripe stewed fruits fill the middle, but dig down under those and the peat and char smoke not only show up but wrap everything up quite cohesively as you pull away from the glass. Palate begins as the nose ended, with lightly burnt staves starting things off. Malted cereal is next which then shifts quickly into a sweetness I wasn’t expecting. Then just as fast as things started they are over. There isn’t enough oil or proof here to make it last long enough to explore. Finish is short, with some smoky vegetal flavours and hints of wood, but like the palate it’s over fast. This is a good whisky, but it’s not great because it’s over too soon. I got this as a single pour gift back in December so not sure what a bottle costs but it feels like it would be more of an affordable offering from Talisker.Edmonton
