Talisker 10yo - 83/100

Pfww, you would expect a little salt in a whisky from the west coast of Scotland, but I think somebody mixed up the salt and pepper vessel. What an amount of pepper!! The taste is very peppery, while the nose is lovely smokey with strong hints of spice. Lingering in the mouth, the whisky releases liquorice-wood and reminds me of the Dutch liquorice-candy "Sneker Zoethoudertjes".

To sum it up: nibbling on a piece of liquorice-wood, that's been dipped in the pepper-pot... delicious !!
