Talisker 10 is a peated Single Malt Scotch from the Isle of Skye. Diageo has named this sea-faring dram as one of the Classic Malts of Scotland. Talisker 10 highlights the maritime essence and flavors that Talisker Distillery draws from. The 10 year is a brilliant balance of smoke, saltiness, and slight sweetness. Every time I pour a dram, I can picture being on the beach breathing the ocean air. Even though this whiskey is a little dry, I consider Talister 10 to be a top shelf whiskey, enjoyed time and time again. Talisker 10 is matured for at least 10 years in ex-bourbon casks and is bottled at a distinctive 45.8% ABV. Talisker- “Made by the Sea”. Color: Gentle gold Nose: Smoke, vanilla, driftwood, salt water, and green apple. Palate: Charred oak, smoke, peppery, gentle fruit sweetness, and a hint of iodine.
