Talisker - 2002
The Distillers Edition of Talisker. After maturation in ex-bourbon barrels, this single malt is finished in Amoroso sherry casks. The Amoroso casks add a sweet fruitiness to the maritime, smoky Talisker character, resulting in a very complex premium whisky.

All tasting notes
Sharp and well focussed; no lingering, rambling smoke here. A sultana sweetness. One of the most tantalising sherry noses - certainly the cleanest
Taste:
Crisp peat then softens to great richness in the mouth. Sweet, roasty malt with heathery dryness. Sherry notes keep back some pepper. In its place is luscious, slightly oily sweetness with juicy fruit and vanilla.
Finish:
Some very deep cocoa notes, vanilla and lingering quite earthy peat. An enormously chewable single malt, with sweetness having the edge on dryness.

Comment: one of my favorite, creates good mood
