Taster

Nose: Fluffy apple. Lemon aspirin. Doughball.

Palate: Vegetal, woody, with oil and smoke and a salty tangy after-taste.

Finish: Grungey, with salt and pepper.

Comment: Doesn't taste this old, doesn't taste like Talisker. Doesn't reach this distillery's greatest heights.

Score: 6.5

Taster

Nose: Perfumy. Sweet.Butterscotch. A touch of creosote. Distant smoke.

Palate: Oily. Smooth. Mouthcoating. Velvety. Sweet herbal tea.

Finish: Sweet, a bit soft.

Comment: A pleasant dram but it does have the expected nerve. Alcohol is perfectly mastered though. But one could expect better from a 30 Year Old Talisker. It does not taste like Talisker.

Score: 7.6
