TASTING NOTES TALISKER 1981/2002 SHERRY CASKS

Nose: peat and sherry at first. Very fine and elegant, you don’t perceive the particularly high gradation. It is then the turn of red fruits, with cherry and blackberry.

Palate: spices, including nutmeg and black pepper, along with an important salinity. Then red fruits, with hints of cherry, blackberry, black cherry and strawberry. The Talisker character comes through.

Finish: very long and complex. Notes of black pepper, peat, spices and red fruits (cherry) are perceptible.

The almost perfect marriage between the various components and a great age, that never overpowers the whisky from the the proud Isle of Skye, give rise to an excellent result. Magnificent.
