Nose. Sweet pineapple up front then peat smoke and moss wrap your nose like seaweed and sea salt to prepare you for the excitement later. Taste. At first Sweet orange, pineapple and vanilla coconut followed by a smoky briny tobacco pipe and cinnamon with the salty sea blanketing it all. Finish with a spike of lemon pepper and a tingling smokiness with the sweet flavors clinging to the tongue long after swallowing. Fantastic whiskey to satisfy any lover of Islay scotch and peat. I’m still new to the whiskey world and even the peat for for that matter, but the Talisker 10 has opened my eyes to Islay peat.
