Muted nose from normal Talisker 10, a little less peat, more brine, not as much fruit hiding behind the peat. On the palate I'm noticing a lot of straight up salt which I do not enjoy very much. It tastes like someone literally tilted a salt shaker in my glass. Other aspects such as peat, pepper and sherry are toned down and the salt is turned way up. Not a fan unfortunately. The only plus is that it was cheap.
