Hi, my name is José and i am a talisker fan.
I was dictating a whisky course and the house host asked me to review one of his whiskies. Excitement was felt right away. He grabbed his 1999 D.E. of Talisker and i knew i was going to have a nice time.
This is actually a very different Talisker, specially on the nose. It is finished in Amoroso casks.
As always, 45.8% abv, tawny color.
On the nose, bacon, bonfire, vanilla, salt, cherries, coastal, maritime aroma notes. It is very sweet but also salty and also peaty. Great.
On the palate is beautiful: cake, toffee, pepper, MINT LIQUOR (lovely), peat. Amazing.
Finish is very long, herbal and salty, very peaty. Earthy peat. Heather peat.
Overall this is a spectacular dram, didn't make it to a perfect score but it was close: 96/100. Slainte!

@Rick_M lol, that is correct
@Jos-Mass-Espinel - I guess it’s safe to say you like the Talisker DE’s.
