This Talisker offers a warm, fruity essence with a chili kick, although it lacks the typical Talisker freshness. Despite this, it presents a harmonious and complex profile. On the nose, notes of walnuts in sherry blend with sea water and salty iodine from the Wadden Sea, accompanied by hints of pepper, nutmeg, and floral undertones. The taste reveals a chili spiciness mingled with chocolate, cherries, and briny flavors, followed by touches of liquorice and chocolate powder, culminating in a smoky finish reminiscent of old wooden barrels. The finish is long and warm, with fruity and spicy wood notes, complemented by oak and salted liquorice flavors.
