Talisker 1992 Distillers Edition

This whisky is double cask matured first in bourbon barrels and then finished in oloroso sherry casks

Nose: sweet,fruity, like raspberries and strawberries together, mild smoke, very pleasant

Taste: sweet fruit, pepper and smoke combine together to form a very pleasant palate. There is substantial salt here as well. The delivery is different than Talisker 10 yo in that salt and pepper are toned down compared to the 10 yo and the fruit is stronger. The sherry wine finish works well here

Finish: There is a long finish, with all of the flavours persisting for a substantial period

Balance: There is more complexity in this whisky than with the Talisker 10 yo, due to the greater sherry/fruit flavours at the expense of the salt/pepper/honey/smoke tetrad of the Talisker 10. This is a very pleasant and enjoyable whisky
