Talisker 10 Year is an interesting whisky. From nose to finish it is something of a unique combination of what I typically like in an Islay scotch, and some of the other flavors more typical to the other regions. On the nose I get a lot of those salty, classic Islay flavors with a little fruit or flowery notes peaking through as well. The palate has a nice malty taste to it, and again those briny, sea notes are present with a little bit of sweetness as well. The finish is medium, and smooth, really opening up those salty flavors again. With so much going on, no one flavor truly dominates, and everything can be a little muted, but its a nice way to take what I typically like in a scotch, and expand it with a greater variety of tastes.
