Light smoke, butter, mashed apples, caramel, coastal notes, light minerality (dusty and earthy tones), vanilla, nutmeg, oak

Sweet, peppery, strawberry marmalade, yellow apples and banana touch, maritime notes (brine and kelp), minerality, oak at the end

Medium-long, smoky, oaky (slightly bitter), getting dry slowly, ashy aftertaste

Young and mild Talisker. The smokiness here is rather weak, and overall balance is not on the top. While the nose and the palate are not bad, the finish is the weakest place: it’s quite oaky with long bitter aftertaste. Well, this NAS is OK but just OK.
