Talisker Prima & Ultima 31 year old 1988, 51.4%

Price: 25899 Issue: Fall 2020 Reviewer: Gavin Smith Category: Single Malt Scotch

Fresh fruits and white pepper on the nose, with brine and rock pools. Very littlesmokiness. The palate is also fruit forward—ripe red apples and pears—with barleysugar. The peat is now much more apparent, along with prickly spice. Mildlymedicinal. Salt and black pepper in the long finish. Price is for entire Prima & UltimaCollection, of which this whisky is a part.
