Talisker 18 yo (45,8%, OB, +/-2008)
A nose that’s slightly more buttery than peaty, all that in a great way, then a development on leather and apple pie. Gets finally more coastal (iodine). The palate is oily, with a much bigger peatiness and notes of marzipan, liquorice, cough drops and a long and salty finish (oysters). Wonderful palate. 90 points
