This is the second time I got a sample of the Talisker distillers edition. This one here is the 2006/2016 Amorosso sherry finish. Nose: cotton candy that was put over a freshly lid camp fire and dipped in cherry marmalade after. After that first impression you get sweet sherry aromas but not very defined - just nice and rich. Then there is a nice savory organic (wood, sand, leather, wet straw and salty sea air) part to it which doesn’t only fit perfectly in there but that feels as if it holds the whole nose together. Very well done. The longer you nose it the smoother (now caramel) and more enjoyable it gets. Palate: much smoother than the other sherry / port finished Taliskers. Also a really nice sweetness embedded in sherry flavors and milky chocolate and fudge. The peat is very nicely integrated. The finish is a great summary of everything that was going on on the nose and palate. After the first sip the nose gets much sweeter and also quite nutty. Then there are some citrus fruits appearing while also getting smoother almost buttery on the nose. The palate also feels sweeter and silky now. The peat is still very defining yet respectful of the other flavors. With three drops of water it feels less intense and less smooth on the nose. The palate remains the same as before but the finish get rougher with an increased peat level.
