Wine Enthusiast 93 points - Made on Isle of Skye, this brisk, briny single malt carries honey and campfire smoke aromas on the nose. On the palate, a salted caramel flavor unfolds, with smokiness leading into the brisk finish that brushed with fleeting notes of citrus and rich espresso. It has plenty of alcohol punch, so be sure to add a generous splash of water..Kara Newman, December/2015
Ultimate Beverage Challenge 91 points - Lovely, golden honey over heather flowers and toasted barley, this Talisker bottling suspends its peat influence until your palate, evoking the prearrival of a storm leading to its downpour. The finish is long and consistent, revealing an expertise in blending. - 2019 Ultimate Spirits Challenge (Excellent, Highly Recommended).April/2019
