Wonderful Whisky! This comes close to the brand's Distillers Edition. As usual, Stephanie has pretty much nailed the descriptions. And as with the difference I found between the Lagavulin D. E. and the 16 yr. Laga, this also has a less complex finish than the Tali D.E. but offers a very nice lasting peat reminder the mouth can appreciate between sips. Also, as with the 16 yr Lagavulin, I prefer to really hold this on the tongue a good while or even (heaven forbid!) swish it around to maximize the experience. Just delicious and with a mild burn to satisfy heat lovers. This tastes more refined to me than say, the 10 yr Laphroaig, and without the powerful medicinal after tastes. For me, this is a great Scotch to sit and sip and pass away some time. In PA the price difference from the more complex D.E is only $10, so I will likely alternate purchases between them when seeking Talisker. $66 in PA at the PLCB.
