Talisker Dark Storm
Country: Scotland
Region: Highlands
Type: Single Malt
Bottler: Distiller
ABV: 45.8%
Score: 90 Points
This is a travel retail-exclusive version of Talisker Storm, and uses more recharred casks in its blend. The result is an ashy and smoky nose with charcoal, honey, vanilla, allspice, and a touch of brine. The taste starts off with a good cinnamon spiciness and honey sweetness, and a mild peaty smokiness comes in as the cinnamon fades along with hints of honey and brine. The finish is dry, ashy, and smoky. (November, 2013)
