Drops a bit for me from a 5 to a 4 because I have had so many great whiskies since starting with Talisker 10 and now I realize that 5 is likely too high. Oddly enough I even like the Talisker GOT a bit better.
This is a classic and a solid buy at 4 stars.

Also, I run some fairly extensive analytics on my review data (because I’m a nerd like that) and my spreadsheets aren’t prepared to handle multiple tastings associated to the same record, which is how many others would likely track their changing palates over time.
I did exactly the same thing a few days back, dropping it from a 4.5 to 4 after tasting it again. I still think it’s an amazing whiskey and a great value, but I gave it the very high score at the beginning of my tasting journey and my palate has changed quite a bit in the months since. I imagine there are different perspectives on changing ratings after the fact, but I have no problem with it. I’d rather my tasting catalog be a living record than a historical chronicle.
