TALISKER SKYE
Scotland - Islands
.
On the nose: smoky and very peaty, the peat is rubbery and slightly earthy, vanilla, slightly spicy, afterwards there’s a lil oakiness and a hint of honey
On the palate: salty and a bit lickerish, the peat is still very dominant and rubbery, bitter chocolate and some sea spray. Finally, there is a slight touch of orange
The finish is medium, deep, mentholated, bitter/tannic, marine and (no surprise) peaty
Personal note: 82/100
Not very complex, not much behind the peat, except for a quite interesting finish. The peat is smooth and full of character though
Compared with the Talisker 18yo, the Skye has a rougher peat and is way less complex

Here the line-up of our Whisky tasting in June!
4 Scotch single malt and one blended whisky as a bonus! (@finricwhisky thank you guys!) That was quite a lineup :) we obviously started with that beautiful Balvenie 14 Caribbean cask! Always a gentle beauty, where vanilla, honey and barley combine together in perfect armory, complimented by that Demerara sugar and spice delivered by the finish in Rum cask!
Afterwards an omnipresent malt in our tastings: Hazelburn!
A stunning 13 yo aged in Oloroso sherry cask! I had great expectations over this baby and I was definitely not disappointed! STUNNING.
Afterwards we touched an interesting topic: peat vs peat
We tasted side by side the latest entry in the Ardbeg core range, the “an oa” and the MONSTER Kilkerran heavily peated.
Was fantastic to explain how Islay peat is integrated differently if compared with other peated malts!
Was again great time and was already amazing to meet :) Thank you for everyone that participated in making the event such a success :) #whiskytasting #whiskyfriends #drinkswithfriends
