Appearance: Brilliant gold. Nose: Powerful peat-smoke with sea-water saltiness, the liquor of fresh oysters, a citrus sweetness. Palate: A rich dried-fruit sweetness with smoke and strong barley-malt flavors, warming and intense. At the back of the mouth is an explosion of pepper. Finish: long, warming peppery finish with an appetising sweetness. 45.8% abv - Maritime and Smokey -


"Fresh, vibrant. Appetizingly briny, with notes of seaweed, fishnets, lemongrass, smoke, and damp peat. A bed of light toffee provides contrast and balance. It finishes with a knockout punch: powerfully peppery and salty. This whisky remains a beautifully dynamic and bold whisky." Whisky Advocate

The Talisker Storm is made from whiskies of different vintages. The distillery managed to keep its typical character and also create an experience with strong and marine flavors. It bears no age statement but is stronger and more intense than the 10-year-old. Nose: mellow smokiness, briny, fresh clean notes, and pronounced pepper. Palate: medium bodied with tongue-coating sweetness, nutty smokiness and spice notes. The flavor is elegantly drawn out with a good balance between sweetness, smoke and salt, which is all the more evident when a little water is added. Finish: clean and of medium length, warming, with a lasting, smooth aftertaste, in which peaty burnt embers can be found. - Maritime and Smoky -
