Reviewed August 12, 2017 (edited October 21, 2024)Looking online this seems to be a release that is only available in the UK/Europe. This is an NAS whisky aged in ex-bourbon, refill European oak, and "heavy char" casks. It's then finished in Port casks and bottled at 45.8% ABV. On the nose this is a little hot with dark fruits (raisins), smoke, some floral notes, and (after a while) chocolate. Really pretty nice. The palate is hot at first with Port wine, smoke, and sweet orange peel. The finish is medium, dry, smoky, and spicy with hints of BBQ meat. Overall this was the best of the three samples. This was a dram I could consider buying, if it were available. I have had one other Talisker offering (Storm) and it's definitely a great distillery. 4.25/5. Cheers! -
