Talisker Storm
The nose of the Talisker Storm is 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. The flavor is mellow and rich, then very spicy: a pure, tongue-coating sweetness joins a nutty smokiness to embrace those spicier note. The finish is drier and of medium-length, with a lasting, smooth aftertaste, in which light peaty burnt embers can be found.
