Strong lad

The Talisker was a Christmas present for the family - we like to drink whiskey and times it was our first maritime whiskey from Scotland. And here you could tell the difference to the other single malts, which we drank far.
Because despite its "10 more years" under his belt the Talisker comes with a very strong flavor, therefore, in which certain the ghosts. Either you like it or you will probably drink it only once and then never again put in the cart.

When taste clearly dominates the woody smoky. So you can taste good the barrels in which the whiskey was stored. At the same time I find it a very pleasant taste, if you stand on this strong note.
Taking the whiskey into his mouth, occurs initially but also a slight sweetness, which is then replaced by the full force of peaty smoke.
Although the smoky note is very strong and dominates this whiskey, at the same time I find it disgusting but not overdone and it is not left with the feeling that they have bitten into a freshly stained wooden barrel.
If you have swallowed the whiskey down, the aroma spreads out long in the mouth and stays there for a while.
The Talisker is therefore a whiskey should be enjoyed in small sips, because they are already full of flavors and have it in them.
Simultaneously, the Talisker but not burning when swallowing, despite its strong sharp note.

For us a new but very pleasant experience that has given us the Talisker.
Conclusion - Suitable for all who like it a little stronger and smoky!
