The Tasting Experience
The colour of an Amber sunset, rich layers of aroma; the hot, sun-blanched canvas and varnished wood of the boat cleared by a swirling Mistral uncovering a faintly smoky, bees-wax base. This Talisker has a smooth texture and a vibrant, juicy start, before lightly drying, like salt spray on deck, then a peppery warmth seems to bring to an end the wonderfully long, mid-summers night of chili-pepper warmth that suffuses the whole palate.
