With its dark colour, it is a variant from the usual 10 years old from Talisker. The effects of the Amoroso sherry casks is strong on the nose, with hints of smoked bacon and candied fruits. The mouth, on the other hand, is spicy, oily and smoky, with a bit of pest. The candies fruits make a comeback here, and the finale lingers in notes of smoke. It is a rich, seeet and salty scotch very well deserving of high praise.
