Tasting Notes

Nose

Heavily sherried. Christmas cake, burnt raisin, cold stewed tea. Where's the whisky?

Palate

Very tannic, so woody that the spirit has been obliterated and you have to pick splinters out of your tongue.

Finish

Dry.

Comment

What is the point of this other than to prove that leaving Talisker in first-fill sherry casks for 20 years leads to oblivion?
