I'm a sucker for Island malts...something about their salty, briny, yet sweet profile. This reminds me a lot of the 10, but a bit younger and sharper. I'm getting the 10, but less of everything in there. Less of the salt and brine, less of the smoke and sea air. But what I'm getting more of is a fruit forward profile. Rather curious of the marketing strategy behind the name "Storm ". Not really stormy, rather a fruitier 10. Thanks to Scott for the generous sample!

I was curious about that ( Dark Storm)---Never got the chance to pick it up. I did manage to get Talisker's Neist Point though---looking forward to trying that at some point
I was able to recently do a side by side comparison of Storm with the aptly named Dark Storm and came away with a conclusion similar to yours: not necessarily what you'd associate with a storm, but still enjoyable. The travel retail Dark Storm had much more of the briny, sea spray and peat I was looking for. I recommend seeking that one out on your travels, sir. Nice review btw. Cheers.
