Talisker 25 year old, 45.8%
Price: ● Issue: Fall 2023 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Single Malt Scotch
The aromas seize the senses with peat smoke and saltiness, backed by caramel, fine spices, dried citrus, juicy apples, and seasoned oak. The combination of sweet, salty, and spicy flavors makes this particularly moreish, playing out in a long, leisurely arc of flavor running through honey, vanilla, citrus, dried apricot, pepper, and clove, dipping into pools of white chocolate, milky cappuccino, and chocolate covered hazelnuts. Try pairing it with pecorino romano.
