Flavour Profile
Review
This whisky blends the smoky maritime character of Talisker with the rich sweetness of Amoroso sherry cask maturation. The result is a complex and balanced dram that offers a unique twist on the classic Talisker profile. The sherry finish adds depth and richness to the smoky and spicy notes, creating a harmonious blend of flavours. However, we found the flavours didn't quite meld as well as we had hoped, with the sherry sweetness sometimes feeling at odds with the maritime smoke. Nonetheless, it's an interesting variation that is worth trying for Talisker fans. Past editions have picked up Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, including in 2014, so plenty of others rate it as well.
