Grabbed Talisker Storm last March as it was on sale for 30 some dollars. Not being familiar with scotch at the time, I wasn’t in love with this whisky; however, I’ve acquired a taste for scotch, so let’s give it a go.
Look: quite light, Talisker Storm is a non age stated whisky, and the color reflects this. A nice straw color shows the likely younger scotch that was added.
Nose: I get salt water, bacon, iodine, slight honey. Really, there’s a lot going on
Taste: initially, I get fruit and honey, followed by spice, salt water, and campfire on the finish
Finish: a rye spice, guessing this is aged in ex bourbon barrels, kicks in near the end and helps gives way to some heat. Slight bitterness, and a lingering campfire flavor lasts to the end
Overall: I love Talisker Storm as I find it quite complex, and taste something new with every dram. While I’ve never had any other Talisker, Storm is worth a purchase if you can find a sale.
