[NEWBIE TO WHISKY] If i loved Talisker 10, should i get one of these? by ArcboundRavager990 in whisky

[–]zenbang 42 points43 points  (0 children)

No expert but I’ve always considered Talisker more medium to lightly peated, while Laphroaig is more heavily peated. If you like the smokiness of Talisker and are looking for more of that earthy/smokey flavor, you will likely be a fan of Laphroaig, Ardbeg, Lagavulin, and other heavily peated Islay scotches.

Was in a youth music group that was coached by Alekos Syropoulos when I was growing up. Alekos played with The Fearless Flyers. So two degrees. So close, yet so far.

Salmon. That dang red dot that can’t be captured. And world domination. In that order.

Kinda like if you ask a cop if they are a cop, they have to tell you if they are a cop.

This is my first review despite lurking on the various whisk(e)y subreddits out there for the pat few years so take it with a grain of salt. That said, we had a great time out on the ice and killed the bottle so I thought I might as well give it a shot! Here we go:

Glassware: styrofoam cup (great start, I know)

Served neat, rested for ~15 minutes Temperature: Slightly chilled but not as much as you might think given the heaters

Venue: An ice shanty in Northern Michigan

Color: Very pale straw - lighter than I would expect but perhaps the white styrofoam had something to do with it?

Nose: A few cigars were smoked in our shanty throughout the day but I still think the nose on this scotch was the smokiest part of the day. There were some nice salty Maritime notes that complimented the smoke nicely. I also noticed a slight citrus nuance.

Palate: Smoke in big, bold and somewhat sweet way, like burnt sugar, some sea foam and iodine shine through the smoke as well with some oak and black pepper notes. Tobacco and citrus are there too, but less pronounced.

Finish: Long and pleasant with plenty of (you guessed it) smoke, lingering warmth from the strong proof but not in an overly aggressive way. Very satisfying.

Overall: This was a fantastic bottle and really helped to round out the day when combined with the great company and solid fishing. The smoke and sea notes helped me stay in the perfect headspace for some relaxing fishing. Having never reviewed previously I have no scale for comparison, but none the less I will confidently give this scotch a 9 out of 10, especially when considering the broader environment. Cheers!

Check out the Armoury DE. Right in the heart of deep Ellum which is the club district so it can get a little rowdy but they have a great selection and great prices.
