Im Vergleich zum 10er viel verschlossener und blasser. Die Nase ist muffiger, im Mund zudem ein unangenehmes alkoholisches Beißen. Mit Wasser wird er etwas besser und nähert sich dem 10er, fügt allerdings eine unangenehme Bitterkeit hinzu.

Ich bin ja schon kein Verfechter des 10ers aber dieser hier trifft gar nicht meinen Geschmack.

Note: 3+

Finish

6/10

I would think this is the 10 in a blind. Just more medicinal. Absolutely delicious dram with all of the quintessential Talisker notes.

Smoke and fruity sweetness. I like this a lot less than my tasting at duty free.

Wonderful Talisker, great value for the money, not complex but focused in an excellent way. I enjoyed it with water. The longer you wait the more present are the zests and the smoke. Mouthfilling and oily.

zests and decent smoke

The next NAS Talisker in front of me. The 57% Talisker 57 north.
This amber gold dram leaves long legs.

Alcohol and smoke are both very strong. The salty smoke is pleasant but the alcohol begs for dilution. When the alcohol finaly is tamed the complex layers appear. Light summer fruits, bitter nut, spicy cinnamon, and a surprisingly sweet peat.
Very nice!

The oily taste has everything I like. A lot of alcohol and the usual peppery smoke. A little fruit in the back and a salty spray at front. Iodine completes.
The second zip is much more complex than the first. A little metallic youthness
loses some points here.

The finish leaves you snapping for breath. It's very long and very spicy.
First it starts of sweet, but a smooth teeth covering kick follows. Now the spice begins to swell rapidly. Until you run short of oxygen.
When everything is cooled down, a bittery sweetness appears and lingers for quite a while. Wow!

Very smoky, spicy and alcoholic. But what a NAS from Talisker this is again.
It only lost some points on it's youthness and on it's heavy thirst for water.
This kick in the ass, scored 92 points.

Sterke mooie whisky niet voor beginners

General description

Great strong, but nice and tasteful whisky.

General description

smoky oil on the nose. got a mild wood/peaty taste with a lot of burn to finish. a few drops of water really helps the different tastes come out.

General description

Einer der besten Talisker die ich getrunken habe. Eine gute Portion Rauch. Viel Alkohol und ein ordentlicher Abgang lassen ihn zu einem meiner Lieblinge werden.
Getoppt meiner Meinung nach durch die Destillers Edition.

less peated then the 10y, more fruity in the beginning, ripe taste, lots of pepper in the end. Delicious!

General description

just like the 10 year old but this one is bottled at 57 %. that higher alcohol % gives you that extra kick. highly recommended.

General description

A great peated Whisky. Not as well balanced as the distillers edition, though.

General description

A very good NAS whisky from Talisker. Not great, not close to their 18 year old, but enjoyable.

General description

taste is in front of you mouth. little, nice explosion.

General description

A beast! Must have another bottle again

General description

Great tasting whisky, with some water ist gets smoother an you can find more tastes than without.

General description

Een goede zware whisky, 57% en die krijg je zeker terug. Zee en schepen zijn gedachten die deze whisky bij je naar boven brengen. Persoonlijk een van mijn favoriete whisky's tot nu toe.

Nose

De eerste reuk deins je wat terug, de 57% prikt aardig op je slijmvliezen. Even doorbijten maar dan komen er geuren vrij. Ziltig, kool maar ook peper en wat zoets. Je verwacht een het eikenblad te ruiken maar dat valt mee. Iets van fruit komt zelfs naar voren.

Palate

De eerste indruk is zoetig maar dan breekt het pittige door en denk je al snel aan peper. Dan breekt er wat fruitigs door, nog steeds pittig maar vanille sluimert daaronder.

Finish

Als het pittige wegtrekt blijft toch die kenmerkende rokerige smaak van Talisker achter. Het ziltige in combinatie met een houtachtige smaak brengen je gedachten steeds weer naar een oude scheepswerf ergens in 1600. Heel lang blijft hij trouwens niet hangen, maar als je dan even je keel schraapt weet je weer wat je net op hebt.... 57 graden noord, ze zouden er een film over kunnen maken....
