Talisker. Everything else is a fairy tale.
Hello. Buy talisker. In any of its expressions.
Bottled at 45.8%, tawny color.
I had a lot of drinks today, but one talisker Port Ruighe. Obviously this was the best whisky.
IF YOU EVER CAST AWAY ON AN ISLAND, I HOPE IS SKYE ISLAND HOME OF TALISKER.
On the nose is the most dim talisker, still an interesting dram: port (seagulls and fish stuff), slight peat and lots of salt. The worst nose on a talisker so far still a solid 20 over 25.
On the palate: FANTASTIC. VERY HOT, very spicy but in a macho pleasant way. Oranges, hard salt (that barbecue salt rocks), tabasco and chilli. Spectacular.
Finish is long and very spicy. Your whole mouth goes numb because of the spicyness. Great.
Overall i give this beauty a 94 over 100 and it is another wonderful talisker. GO AND BUY IT.
