Talisker Special Release 11 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 2022

The nose of this whisky evokes a maritime atmosphere, reminiscent of a beach bonfire with dry seaweed, followed by deeper notes of saltiness and marine elements, all underpinned by the scent of fresh linen. On the palate, it offers a smooth and oily texture, with a delightful sweetness accompanied by smoky and spicy notes, reminiscent of a fruit orchard enveloped in smoke and sea mist. The taste culminates in a fine balance of saltiness and spiciness, leading to a powerful chili pepper sensation upon swallowing. When diluted, the sweetness and saltiness become more pronounced. The finish is long-lasting and lightly smoky, with a lingering warmth from the spices.
