Talisker Distillers Edition, Island (Skye) Single Malt, 45.8% ABV
Minutia: Distilled in 2002, matured in ex-Bourbon casks and finished in Amoroso casks, and bottled in 2013. Batch number TD-S: 5PB. Enjoyed neat in a glencairn with the Caol Ila and Lagavulin Distillers Editions.
Color: Tawny, 1.4.
Nose: Fruity, slight smoke, salted caramel.
Taste: Dry but sweet, into wood, smoke, and spices.
Finish: Long. Briny smoke with dry spice. Bit like coffee but not that flavor.
Quite nice, a sweet version of the 10 with the edge taken down, not necessarily in a bad way. Worth the premium if it's not much more than the 10.
Score: 88
