First sniffings boast big-hearted aromas of maple sugar and caramel; further aeration stimulates marine notes of seaweed and light brine, but deeper notes of chili pepper, black pepper, honey and vanilla top off the experience. Palate entry is honeyed and full; at midpalate the taste profile inches its way towards the smoke-tobacco-ash-tar side of the flavor scale, but is sweet. Concludes moderately oily and lightly salty. ... More details

Shows a heady maritime bouquet of sea spray, preserved lemon, wild clover honey, fresh ginger, and candied barley. The palate is magnificently balanced reiterating the dance of grain and fruit and finishing with a faint wisp of peat smoke. (Finalist) (Tried & True) (Top 100) - 2022 ULTIMATE SPIRITS CHALLENGE

A sophisticated and refined Talisker, if that’s not an oxymoron. But this is certainly true when compared to the 10 year old. This 18 year old is deeper too, with less of the fishnets, more of oak boat docks. Less lemongrass, more fruit gum drops. There’s still that knock-out punch on the finish. There’s a fine line between polishing the rough edges of a beautifully powerful whisky and ripping its heart and soul out with a knife by dumbing it down. This whisky has not crossed that line. A fabulous whisky! - Fall 2005

On the nose this whisky presents rich and fruity Victoria plums, greengages, perhaps dried orange peel with some butterscotch or rum toffee and a thread of smoke behind. On the palate it is sweet in front, then more assertive, with a whiff of smoke. The overall effect is warming. The development is towards smoke, coal-tar and toffee. The finish has medium length with the characteristic chilly 'catch' in the finish.
