Nose | Powerful, fresh-clean, and growing in complexity like a gathering storm. Sweet maltiness with ripe red berry fruit moves to smoke, brine, and an explosion of pepper. |
Palate | Mellow and rich, then very spicy |
Finish | Drier and of medium-length, with a lasting, smooth aftertaste, in which light peaty burnt embers can be found. |
Talisker Storm is an Island whisky brimming with character and complexity. Deep notes of wood, brine and spice are complemented by a distinct peaty flavour. This quality comes from the peat burned during the malting process and the salted smoke of an island battered by wind and waves.
This whisky is aged in American oak casks with a higher proportion of toasted casks, which are selected for the spiciness they impart to the spirit.
