ABV: 45.8%

Talisker Skye Single Malt Scotch Whisky. Image courtesy Diageo.This no-age-statement Talisker has a nose with medium peatiness, driftwood smoke, a hint of brine, honey, vanilla, and walnut notes. The taste is peppery and smoky, with tangy barbecue sauce on pork chops, honey, and a touch of allspice. The finish is medium-length with a mild smokiness. Very nice, and only the most sensitive whisky lovers would be able to tell the difference between Skye and Talisker 10-year-old in a blind tasting. (May, 2015)
