This is one of my favorite Scotches. It's also probably the most briney whiskies I have. This is the Jefferson's Ocean of Scotch. It's got a wholeeeeeeee lotta brine. But it sure is delicious. The peat is about a 5 on a scale of 0 to Islay. The stone fruit of the islands comes through with some beautifully light and friendly peppery notes with a hint of butterscotch. I highly recommend this above any other Taliskers. I am sad, though because when I got this in Nashville it costed 40$. But, now that I've moved I can't find it for anywhere near that price. Same thing with the Laphroaig 10. I guess I'll just have to go back anytime I need new whisky.

@BDanner In SC there were a lot of affordable Scotch and Irish we never see or have listed. The bourbon selection was not much different except a lot more TN whiskey. My favorite thing I got was George Dickel Hand Selected Barrel. One of the best whiskeys I've had in a while. If you go you may want to focus on non-US bottles. They also had multiple Amrut and Kavalan bottles.
@Zachary-Robbins sounds like I need to make a run for the border.
@BDanner Saw it in SC for around $55
@BDanner Yeah those are both really good offerings, but I believe this tops it still, so definitely be keeping an eye for it because if you liked those other two you won't be disappointed!
After having the GOT Edition and the 10, I'm on the lookout for anything Talisker. However, in my area it's slim pickings. The 10 is the only one consistency on the shelf in my area now. No idea if NC even carries Storm anymore.
