Reviewed December 28, 2020 (edited June 14, 2021)Nose: Dense malt, apple, red berries. Cream, soft cherry, oak. A lot more muted than the 10. Taste: denser smoke with intense wine characteristics. Dirty burnt grass, hay. Sherry is helping to amp up the smoke. Light creamy finish with a hint of grapefruit. Nose awakens once you prime yourself with a sip. More almond and cherry notes pop out. The peat starts to subside to a more subtle smokiness and becomes very sweet with toffee and powdered sugar notes. Water makes the malt come out and it becomes very sweet and almondy with the peat punch moving to the end. 10 is more malty and fruity on the taste. Honestly the 10 is more complex but 10 years old is too young, it’s too punchy. Adding water makes it lose its complexity. The distillers edition rounds off the rough edges. It reminds me of uigedal. Definitely need to spend more time with this one but it’s getting up there in terms of my favorites so far.90.0 USD per Bottle -

Reviewed November 20, 2020 (edited August 29, 2021)This 10 year old whisky shares a lot of similarities with the normal ‘Talisker 10’. While this expression is more fruity on the nose, it is a little unpleasant to me due to the phenols. The taste more than makes up for it and has enough peat and spice to compliment the fruityness of this whisky. The finish is sweet, peppery and overall shorter than his 10 year old brother. "Tasty" : 3.25 stars | A cut above.48.0 EUR per Bottle
