Tasting notes：

Nose: Upon nosing the glass, you’re immediately hit with a whiff of salty, briny, minerality. Then comes the smell of campfire ash, like waking up the morning after burning a campfire only to find it still smoldering. There are earthy tones throw in as well. But as the whisky sits in the glass and opens up, more of the sweetness arrives, with notes of rosewater, honeysuckle, and sweet herbs. Overall a very intriguing nose with a lot happening.

Palate: Just like on the palate, the ocean influence is immediately apparent on the first sip. It’s fascinating how much the distillery’s location can play into a whisky’s flavors. There is seaweed, salt, and minerality present but is quickly washed away by notes of honey and light orchard fruits. Freshly baked bread and sweet cereal malt also show up. And as the whisky begins to transition into the finish, more smoke arrives. Mouthfeel is fine, but it’s the flavors that shine here. Talisker 10 presents at a good proof, so it never feels thin or watered down, but fails to impressive on the mouthfeel.

Finish: Medium to long finish. The peat and smoke that was present on the nose return to the forefront on the finish. Freshly cracked pepper and charcoal lingers on the palate, with a dry finish that caps off an intriguing pour.
