Nose: An enticing combination of sweet and warm. An Hebridean welcome dram.\rWould also work as a wakeup call. Very more-ish.
Palate: More savoury than the nose but still sweet. Grapey and with some peach all over a peat bedding.
Finish: Medium with fruit and smoke in tandem.
Comment: Is this really Talisker? Not bad at all, but a surprise all the same.
Score: 7.1
