We try the latest batch of this classic Skye whisky. A couple of months ago, there were rumours that Talisker 10 Years would be discontinued (possibly replaced by Talisker Skye ) or at least available in very limited amounts, but so far I can’t say this is noticeable. All my regular shops seem to have sufficient stocks.

Talisker 10 Year Old (45,8%, OB 2016)

Nose: better than how I remembered it, less porridgy. This time I’m simply getting the soft smoke, classic oily notes and peppery edge. Lots of coastal notes, seashells and iodine. Lovely mentholated / eucalyptus...
