Hot and mean. Angular and spirited palate; rough finish. The 10yr is powerful and assertive but with great length and presence, this NAS lacks the balance and interest and just seem altogether too young. 2023

An enormous amount of peat in the nose and on the palate. Not unpleasant. Spices and medicine as well. Fine Whisky. A bit sharp, but also sweet in the finish.

This Talisker manages to offer much of the smokey iodine filled peaty profile of Islay without the "fishy" touch, which I love but others hate. A robust yet elegant whisky. Very good.

From memory, rather more structured but less caressing than Storm. Very good.

Smells quite sweet, toffee and tobacco
Full body, creamy, pepper then fresh and salty, toffee notes on finish
Good if quite short
