Talisker 10 is a worthy representative of the quintessential smoky, briny Scotch whisky. On the nose, a plateful of the full Scottish breakfast. Smoky, savoury, tangy, mouth watering aromas. The mouthfeel is full, uplifting and strong, dominated by the peat smoke and isle of Skye brine; at the same time, a sweet yet refined dark fruit sweetness infused with peppermint darts across the tongue. Whilst not oily, the finish is long and satisfying, driven on by the 45.8% ABV. Black pepper and spices come to the fore and slowly fade away, awaiting your next languorous sip. A dram definitely worth taking your time with!
