Talisker Skye

Color, as always created by adding caramel, is a not very rich gold that distinguishes it from 10 years. Young already on the nose, where the influence of smoked woods is felt a lot and in a disconnected way, traveling on a pungent and invasive alcoholic note. Sweet notes of vanilla and cinnamon, lots of pepper (it's still a Talisker, anyay!) and a pinch of salinity. A not very organic mix, where in the long run only the sense of roasting and pepper remains. Poured on the palate, still alcohol and burnt woods, prevalent spiciness and some notes of sweetness but less evident than on the nose. Marine character a little subdued, overwhelmed by the most determined hints that tend to cover everything. On the finish remain toasting and spices, somewhat fleeting.
