Talisker 10 Year Old

I have only tasted Talisker 10yr once before, but that was at a cigar bar after a dram or two, so it wasn't really a fair taste. I stumbled across a Talisker three pack of 20cl bottles: 10yr, '93 Distiller's Edition, and 18yr. I am really excited about tasting these whiskies, as Talisker is a real crowd favorite.

Talisker 10yr is bottled at 45.8% ABV.

Nose: Lots of smoke and sea air, mixed with a little seaweed and brine. There is a bit of a tangy fruit aroma, like an unripe pear, or unripe green grapes.

Palate: Very engaging mouth feel, with plenty of peppery spice and tanginess. A bit of sea salt as well.

Finish: Long finish with lots of hot pepper. Plenty of tangy smoke coming out.

This is very tasty. The tanginess is pretty powerful, bringing in a great flavor to balance the pepper and smoke. The going rate for Talisker 10yr around here is $60, and I would say that even though $60 is a bit high for a 10yr, this one is well worth the going rate.
