Talisker 25 Year Old Bottled 2006

Talisker 1953 G & M

The reviewed sample is compliments of @maltster. There is no age statement. The bottle is believed to be aged 8-12 years, and was stored 40+ years in a bar Nose: metallic, like tin, a little malt, a hint of salt, understated and not compelling Taste: Whoa! cocoa, and gravelly with deep earthy tones and kerosene; some more tin.

Talisker 18 Year Old

A few drams thanks to ryan and ygtbsm94. Lots of spiced apple pie with muted bacon and smoke. Thicker palate with some residual sweetness not present in a lot of Islay Scotches. Decently spicy finish with no real "heat" or burning. Very nice served neat. Excellent viscosity and legs along the glass. Really liked this one.

Score 90/100
