In 2019, Talisker released a special Diageo expression, bottled at a nice 57.3% abv and with some strange looking plants drawed in the label. This is part of the Diageo anual special releases. I was eager to try it, so i managed to get a couple of samples. Lets see how it went: On the nose, Sawdust with smoke. Pineapple. Detergent. Slight coconut. Milk chocolate. Prunes. Wet herbal swamp notes. Almonds. Vanilla in a rainforest. Silicone. Vanilla custard. It is not your typical talisker full of sea profiles, this one is rather "swampy". After a first sip it gave me humid notes, pond; Meringue and Old oranges. Plastic, and artificial citrusness. The palate was nice. Vanilla. Pineapple heart. Boom!! a pepper bomb; Chilli. Wasabi. After the first sip it became maritime: Orange, Pepper. Sawdust and Sea salt. There is this meringue note everywhere. Some sea saltiness at the third sip. Aftertaste was Sweet and spicy. Crazy dips. Its like sugar debris that turn into meringue with ashes. Salt and Pepper. Talisker peat with a hint of hay and chocolate. A third sip gave me a beautiful creamy vanilla mixed with aromatic smoke. This third sip was quite amazing. Sawdust. Overall, this is, as most taliskers, a beautiful dram. You dont even feel the alcohol and it is 57.3%abv. Having said that, it felt different than the normal profile, as i said before, it was more swampy or rainforest like. Nice whisky, cool experience, my score for it is 89 over 100.
