Eventually well integrated mellow smoke drifts across the scene as a wild sea turns up briny, fresh clean notes, and an oily explosion of pepper.PalateAt first mellow and rich in the mouth then quickly very spicy and increasingly stormy as the Talisker heat comes through. Its as if the pure, tongue-coating sweetness joins hands with a deep nutty smokiness to embrace those spicier notes. The flavour is elegantly drawn out with a good balance between sweetness, smoke and salt, which is all the more evident when a little water is added.AWARDSInternational Spirits Challenge 2014 – GoldInternational Wine & Spirit Competition 2014 – Silver OutstandingSan Francisco World Spirits Competition 2014 – Double GoldSan Francisco World Spirits Competition 2016 – SilverUltimate Spirits Challenge 2016 – 98 Points
