Talisker 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky Review
Made at the oldest distillery on the Isle of Skye, this peated single malt instantly calls to mind a raging bonfire blazing on the beach. Though powerful smoky notes form its core, the palate serves subtle seawater notes and lusciously sweet malt, adding layers of nuance and intrigue.
