Aroma: The first impression reveals a tantalising blend of smoke and sweetness. There are clear notes of dried fruit, particularly raisins and prunes, underlined by a gentle but persistent smoke. There are also hints of seaweed and salt, emphasizing the whisky's maritime origins, and a subtle hint of orange peel and dark chocolate, adding another layer of complexity.

Geschmack: The Talisker 18 years is characterized by its wonderful balance. The texture is rich and oily, which creates a velvety mouthfeel. The smokiness is present, but finely embedded in the sweet and spicy elements. Flavors of dark chocolate, caramel and a hint of vanilla lead to a spicy pepper kick that is so typical of Talisker. The maritime character remains, with subtle salt and iodine notes that round off the flavor profile.

Abgang: Long and warming, with persistent spice and a pleasant smoky aroma. The finish brings out the fruitiness and sweet elements once again, accompanied by a persistent dryness and a hint of oak.
