Talisker (10 yo) [REVIEW]

Talisker 10yr

This was my first single malt whisky, and I have a love/hate relationship with it.  It is strong, rich, and a serious heavyweight.  This fact would scare some people away, but I felt challenged by it.  I respected the ferocity it has, and yet, I was determined to overcome it.

Talisker, the only distillery on the Isle of Skye, have been doing their thing for over 175 years. So they must be doing something right, right? You bet!  I always have a bottle of this on the go.  Anyways, on to the review.  This is my first review ever, so bare with me.

Nose : Smoke, peat, vanilla, dried fruit
Body : medium-light
Palate : Woody, light earthiness, hint of vanilla and creamy caramel.
