Talisker 1947 25 Year Old Gordon & Macphail

Talisker Select Reserve

So back in May, the first four Game of Thrones malts showed up at the LCBO (Cardhu, Lagavulin, Dalwhinnie and Glendullan) in fair enough quantities that I was able to pick up two of each without too much effort. For the remaining four malts, we waited...and waited...and waited... Now maybe I just got lazy, but they seemed to have vanished before...

Talisker 10 Year Old

Nose: Pepper and licorice saltwater taffy from the shore. Then, soft cheese, ripe. Stomach acid. Faintly unpleasant. Palate: Hot - rises up the back of your throat - but calms down fast. Amaretto cookie, Necco wafers. Bold. Finish: Distinctly medicinal, with a bit of slight honey. Unique, maybe best part of this dram.

Score 84/100

Talisker 18 Year Old

Sounds like a James Bond film title well yes perhaps but the first impression of this 18yo Talisker is that you are tasting something very special indeed... More complex than the 10 yo (which by itself is an excellent Whisky) wow, this has soooo much going on... on the nose I'm finding layers of golden honey, marzipan, cinnamon, oranges, cardamon,...

Talisker 10 Year Old

This was an outdoor testing, which means i can't do a full review, but in general, a standard peat taste, simple, rounded and quiet. Worth trying
