Whisky Review: Talisker 10 Year Single Malt Scotch

When it comes to peated Scotch, there’s a whole spectrum of intensity, and we’re starting to realize Talisker might have found the sweet spot. This week, we’re diving into the Talisker 10 Year, our first-ever review from the Talisker distillery. It's a single malt Scotch whisky aged for a decade and bottled at 91.6 proof (45.8% ABV). We got our hands on a 200ml sample bottle as part of a “coastal” themed Scotch set—and it turns out this bottle has a whole lot to say for itself. Here's our full breakdown. The following review is taken from our episode " Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 / Talisker 10 ." Click the link to listen to this review in audio format. Nose Brad: Man, it is a really nice nose. I'm getting like soft peat. It's not like overpowering—with little bits of brine and a bit of caramel to kind of underlay it. It's got almost like that salted caramel smell. And then there's leather and tobacco and green apple as I got deeper into it.
