Well, for me Talisker 10 is definitely the first peated scotch to recommend. It's perfectly balanced. From peaty oak to salt, then some pepper, seaweed and more pepper. The finish is peaty and dry. Near the campfire. And yes, there is a ripe pear inside as well as some citrusy notes. Oh, just took a sip and remembered a great and very easy salad recipe to try with T10: You need ripe conference pears, iceberg lettuce and olive oil. Chop everything to teaspoon sized pieces, add oil and salt to taste. Bon appetit!
