Talisker 10 Tasting Notes by Talisker Distilary
“The 10 year old is my personal favourite – it’s just perfect to sit and savour at the end of the day.
I get that peatiness and smokiness – but I don’t get too much pepperiness. It’s smooth with a comforting afterglow. I can’t think of a better nightcap for when the evening stint is over and all I need for company is the stars and the sound of the seas crashing against the rocks.”
-Murray Campbell, Process Operator
Appearance: Brilliant gold
Nose: Powerful peat-smoke with just a hint of sea-water saltiness, fresh oysters, and a citrus sweetness.
Body: Full.
Palate: A rich dried-fruit sweetness with clouds of smoke and strong barley-malt flavours, warming and intense. Peppery at the back of the mouth.
Strong: Huge, long, warming and peppery in the finish with an appetising sweetness.

Tasting Notes By Jim Murray
Nose: A razor-sharp spiciness lances through demerara sweetness and rich peat. Absolutely magnificent.
Palate: The enormous build up of spice adds to the multi-layered peat. The sweetness is almost like freshly crushed grist. Wave upon wave, layer upon layer of complexity.
Finish: Massively warming and still spicy. The peat lingers while the spice bristles.
Comment: A dram to be savoured and celebrated.
