Talisker Select Reserve (Game of Thrones-House Greyjoy)

#SharkWeek!

Quite smoky, but good nonetheless. A solid 3,5/5 from me.

Iodine, minerals, and ocean brine dominate the nose of this dram. There is delicate peat and brine on the tongue with flower nectar sweetness.

Great smokey flavour

Nose: A fruity blend of citrus and apples. Smokey and malty. Leathery? Smells like the sea which is appropriate. Palate: Fruitiness blending with smokiness as expected. Saltiness coming along with hints of caramel. Finish: Lingering smokey flavor. More of the saltiness as well. Slightly fruity on its way out. Overall Thoughts: I am very comfortable with this one. It’s soothing and tastes like home seeing as I grew up just minutes from the ocean. However, I’ve had Talisker whiskies before and they’re excellent, but I wouldn’t consider this to be their best. But seeing as it’s for the GoT collection, it’s great.
