Talisker, Glacial Edge, 45 Year Old, Skye

Notes

The texture is wondrously oil-smooth and mouth-filling; the taste starts toffee-sweet then becomes mouth-wateringly salty and increasingly peppery; even at this age there is a striking intensity to it, and a fine chili catch. An attractive saltiness to the toffee now suggests salted caramels, with slightly less pepper. The finish is long, with a glorious chili pepper effect and a trace of candle-wax; this grows in the aftertaste, in which both saltiness and pepper also persist.
