Description
Talisker 11 Year Old Special Release 2022
A very Longrow’ish mix of peppery, sooty peat, lemon, pepper, brine and almond oil. As it sits, a bit of vanilla emerges—but just a bit. With time the vanilla turns to cream and there’s a light berry sweetness as well. With a few drops of water there’s a fair bit of malt and cream, with smoke running through it all.
Comes in as indicated by the nose but with the almond oil emphasized. Quite approachable at full strength, with mouth-coating texture. The lemon expands as it sits but the almond oil is right there with it. Some mineral tartness with time (disprin, limestone).
Long. Gets more peppery (think a phenolic olive oil) as it goes. With time there’s quite a bit of salt (crystals). As on the palate with water.
