Christopher,
Virtually undrinkable. Lot's of peat and tastes of contaminated water.
Tyler,
A classic. My go-to whisky really, if I had to be stuck on an island with just one bottle in particular.
Jared,
It's funny that this is more expensive than green label, which I prefer over this one. Perhaps I need an opportunity to cross-compare them next to each other, which I haven't had the opportunity to do yet, but I think I prefer the more cask and woody flavor in the green label compared to this. I enjoy the smoothness and aroma of this, but the flavor doesn't quite live up to the price for me.
Erin,
Literally my favorite scotch of all time so I'm a bit biased here. We did a blind tasting with Kilchoman Machir bay, Laphroaig Select, and Bruichladdich Port Charlotte and of course this lovely bottle. On taste Lagavulin 16 came in first place. On nose it came 3rd (Kilchoman was 1st for nose). Laphroaig Select came 2nd on both taste and nose if you're interested...
Ryan,
one of the worst whiskey's I've ever had. Very difficult to drink and smells terrible.
Daniel,
Fantastic single malt. Nice understated peat flavor, smoke and citrus fruit. Delicious.
Jim,
A sweet honey and fruit nose with vanilla wafts. Smooth taste and mild spice finish. Not much smoke in this dram. Easy sipping scotch.
guest,
I love the smoky smell and flavor. It’s like a campfire by the ocean in a glass. Smooth sipping and tons of character. This is my favorite whisky.
Josh,
Slight smoke and molasses on the nose. taste, is mostly charred wood. Finish is a little peppery.
overall fine, I feel like it's the Tullamore dew of scotch. Simple and drinkable, but not complex.
Steve,
Very smooth and not "harsh" at all. No as peaty as some, but that's ok, I very much like the sweet, smooth taste of this one!
Lawrence,
Talisker 10 never disappoints. Pleasant dram and carries the day for musing and recovery!
Christopher,
A classic peat bomb. A bit fiery and intensely smoky, but with pleasing malt beneath.
Christopher,
One of the essential Scotches. A nice middle ground between peaty and malty expressions.
Jim,
Really smooth and sweet honey. Vanilla with some apple for a crisp start. Some light fruit on the nose. Clean end with little to no spice. A really nice dram.
Elijah,
Salt, smoke, caramel, vanilla nose. Moderate plus peat, heavy smoke but quick subsiding on palate. Slight iodine that fades into fresh mint.
Dax,
This was the first peated Scotch I ever had, not a big fan of smokiness in my whisky. I would never buy this again or reccomend it to anyone who doesn't like the taste of an old charcoal grill.
Ray,
Really like this Scotch. I have found that the 12 year to be my sweet spot. Very smooth, so smooth I bought 3 bottles. I don’t have one of those discriminating pallets but I know what I like.
David,
Not for the uninitiated when it comes to smoke and peat, but once you learn to appreciate it, this is a bottle you must try. Good strong smell of smoke and peat, and tastes even better going down. This is one to always keep stocked in your home bar.
David,
Love this bottle. Not for the uninitiated to smoke and eat, but once you are you will LOVE this Scotch
! This is a bottle I will always have in my bar! Not heavy, but strong smoke and peat that goes down with a smile!
David,
Nice smell of light smoke and licorice.. smooth drink with no harshness, goes down nice and smooth. A light smokiness to it for those just getting into smoke.
David,
Good nose - can smell the smoke and peat as though I was touring Islay. Tastes of light smokiness, peat, sweetness, and fruit. Has a mild harshness/hit to the mouth with a nice smokey aftertaste. Recommend it and enjoy it!
Nick,
Shaved coconut, citrus and green fruits, and hazelnut. Pretty well balanced but not very complex. Great malty finish. I ordered this expecting to receive the repackaged Arran 10 but received a bottling from 2017. Take it for what you will. I’d recommend this for its price point and 46% abv bottling to any novice or intermediate scotch drinker.
Ben,
I'd rate this scotch right down the middle given the affordability of a bottle and that it is a decent sipping scotch on a budget. Not terrible, but not great either.
Nick,
A ton of complexity! Great for intermediate or experienced scotch drinker. So much going on in the glass credit to the 6 different casks at play. The nose alone is exceptional. Always find something new when I come back to this dram. Almost perfect. One mark off for price and ABV.
Nick,
Very soft and sweet in the mouth. Not much complexity, but dangerously easy sipper. Good price for 12yo with both sherry and bourbon casks in play.
Chris,
Smooth, smokey, everything a Scotch should be with none of the heavy aftertaste.
Bob,
This is a surprisingly nice Scotch. I say that, in part, because I got the bottle from Flaviar for free and my experience has been that the free bottles tend to be less than spectacular. This one, however, is a very nice sipping whiskey. Sweet and smoky as the flavor profile suggests. I'll be keeping a bottle of this in my home bar.
