100 points... every time. That is Talisker for me.
One of my last reviews on "impressive whiskies i had in Scotland", is this marvelous Talisker 35yo, from 1977 and bottled in 2012. This is a special release, that seems very hard to find and it has a 54.6%abv strength.
Talisker is one of my favorite distilleries, and this expression is no exception to the rule.
Well, lets get to business.
On the nose: Beautiful talisker peat. Toffee, Oranges, Pepper, Sea; Typical talisker profile.
Peat with sugar went crazy bold here. Bonfire, Ashes; Nose went full maritime after first sip.
On the palate, Very watery at the beggining
Then Boooooom peaty, peppeery, grassy peat. Oranges. Toffee. It is your typical talisker. Chocolate notes, Like snickers chocolate bar.
Aftertaste is also wonderful. Chocolate finish with peat. Lovely. Ashes like burning a chocolate house, lol.
Overall this is one perfect dram. It tastes like any other Talisker but with more chocolate. Let it breath for a while, it has been on a cask for 35yo, it takes some time to develop fully. My score is 100 OVER 100. Sláinte Mhath!!!

I’ve been in contact with the Barreled developer and he says that he should be able to have the app back up and running in a couple weeks. So you might not have to transfer everything if you don’t really want to
@Generously_Paul Yes! how are you Paul. i have to transfer all mu reviews. they are 562 so i am having a lot of work :(
It would appear that Jose from Barreled is transferring reviews since that app has gone down a couple weeks ago
