You are in a bar, you’ve had a few and you are happy, you look across the bar and see that girl that when sober you rate as a 3-4.... but tonight the feeling is right and you r happy, you look at her and think “no, who am I kidding you are an 8-9”.... that to me is talisker. I know my buds are going to regret it the next day, with all that peat and smoke..... initially you feel a big spicy hit with this, and it stays with you for a few sips, but then as you acclimatise to the dram the peat comes thru, and that’s when I start to dislike it. A peat free talisker with that same spice would be great
