Member Reviews and Ratings of Talisker 10 Year Old
bill,
Solid single malt. This feels like a classic whisky. Nothing to dislike. You can’t go wrong with this in your collection
FRANK,
excellent flavors ...enjoyed w a cube or two. would definately recommend to a friend.
Philip,
Excellent Single Malt with just the right amount of peat. If you like a smoky scotch, I highly recommend Talisker!
Todd,
You get some aroma of smoke and peat, the taste is peaty and smoky, but then some pretty strong pepper kicks in and lingers. Enjoyable and certainly different than Ardbeg or Lagavulin. If pepper isn't your thing - stay clear! For me this is a step back from Ardbeg 10, but not by much.
Becki,
definite smoky flavor
Gregory,
Smooth with a great smoke taste
Gašper,
Smooth smoky flavour,very drinkable
Sahil,
Really smooth taste
Matt,
Multiple layers of flavor. Starts on the nose with some toasted sweetness, then on the tongue comes on with distinct brininess and accents of mated sweetness. Smooth finish with some residual smoke fading into the background.
guest,
Bit of honey sweetness
Robert,
"Beautiful amber color.
Definitely peat on the nose. Hints of smoke.
First taste - big burn some rubber. Pepper aftertaste.
Second taste- honey and smoke are notable.
Adding water- burn disappears, definitely peat and honey with smoke on the backside. Definitely salty too.
I was hoping to really like this but it might be too rubbery for my tastebuds."
I tried this a second time and decided that it is wonderful.
Adam,
Mine tasted more like a night out on bonfire night. Strong smell and taste of smoke and peat, not exactly unpleasant however preferred mixed.
Matthew,
Solid consistent and peaty, a must try
Michael,
Good peat, good sweet, and nice balance
Michael,
Very well balanced scotch. Sweet and smoky without being overwhelming in either respect. Classic.
Madhukar,
Floral peat with ascending smoke
Zach,
It’s not bad, but not great. I’d take a Laphroaig 10 over this any day at the same price point, however you can smell the sea a bit, and it’s pretty tasty.
Imran,
Just OK
Stefano,
Notes of sea are amazing
guest,
Alright, first review! So.
Appearance: E150 caramel
Taste/Aroma: Quite sweet and salty akin to salted Caramel with just a hint of pear and tropical fruits, peat creeps up but still quite subtle. ends in a slightly Smokey, peppery finish. This whisky reminds me of really good barbecued meat in a nice sauce minus the meat,
Overall: absolutely love it. Not giving a 10 because it has e150 so I can’t appreciate it’s true appearance but hey, Diageo needs to appeal to the masses!
Gary,
Went out of my comfort zone and loved it! I usually avoid the Smokey, peaty whiskies after trying and hating years ago. My palette has matured slightly so I figured I’d give it another go. It’s campfire Smokey but it dosnt overtake the rest of the whiskey. I would recommend this to someone who has tried and liked a few spayside and highlands before this.
Lawrence,
Smoke and peat hit the nose with a hint of vanilla. Peat. Vanilla. Oily. Spice. Black pepper on the tongue and back if the throat. Although less pronounced with ever sip, the spice and pepper remains. Medium finish with oily lips. Very nice.
Jyrki,
I love this. It's my absolute favourite. I have this at my home bar all the time.
Jordan,
Such a distinct and unique flavour about it. Has a little bite at the back end that i find pleasant as well.
Wendy,
Love this!
GySgt,
It is. very Smokey but smooth. I tend to shy from the really Smokey and this has a effect that is long and very aromatic
Andrew,
Some peaty smell, but not taste. Neat it feels and tastes like a cheaper mezcal. Over ice is better, and brought out more flavor (still like a peaty mezcal). Adding a little water helped further balance the sharp alcohol bite and bring out the flavor.
Michihiro,
Bang for your buck this is the perfect balance of rich flavor at the right price point
guest,
Strong, Smokey and a little sweet
guest,
Lightly peated
Edward,
So very balanced.
Brian,
For me this is a great balance of smoke and sweetness with a great spicy finish that lingers with the smoke. One of my new favorites.
Dante,
This scotch is extremely smooth with strong smoky flavor. Once the smoke and peat flavor fades you’re left with a mouthful of salty molasses.
Kyle,
I'm a big fan of smokey tasting scotch whisky and this one doesn't disappoint in that regard.
Bryan,
Really to smokey for my taste.
Levi,
This is my go-to bar stock for Islays. Its pretty mellow on the smoke and the salt gives it a very nice flavor. My wife knows to ensure a new bottle appears before the last one empties. There are some special edition Islays I would gladly drink before this, but for the cost, this is hard to beat.
Garrett,
Tastes like bandaids.
Simone,
My first smoky scotch. Not my favorite at the moment, but quite good.
James,
Fun! Challenging, earthy and leathery flavors, but fun if you know what you're getting yourself into. Smoke is there too!
James,
My first introduction to scotch was Talisker 10 years and what a great intro it was. This was the drink that got me into whisky and will always have a special place on my shelf. The right amount of roughness to help warm you up on a cold day.
Mark,
Very smokey. More medicinal on the nose. Leather and polish. Some lime and lemon on the palette. Some honey on the finish.
Susie,
Did not care for the taste
Dave,
Lovely. Lightly peated with salty and sweet notes that shine through
Benjamin,
Not for me, taste like iodine.
Caleb,
First scotch I ever had and I fell in love with it right away
Renee,
Nice smoke with more sweet than the Skye. Also peppery like Skye with the aftertaste of salt.
Andrew,
Some discredit this bottle as too loud and unbalanced, but I think it's strengths make up for that unruly volcanic nature. No spirit I've ever tried has as much body in the mouth; it is like it expanding into your whole mouth. The flavor is of course that intense peaty marine flavor with a bit of black pepper. Unforgettable.
Ryan,
A distinctive malt, with brine competing for your attention as much as smoke. Thoroughly enjoyable.
Kevin,
Magic in a bottle.
guest,
Nose: Peat Smoke Phenols, Sea Salt, Iodine, Seaweed, Malt Barley
Taste: Smoke, Sea Salt, White Pepper, Chilli Pepper, Slight Fruity Cask Influences of mostly Mediterranean Dried Fruits
Finish: Medium to Long
An extraordinary complexity for its age. Young age gives strength and peaty flavours. Tough and robust. Balanced. Almost a masterpiece. However its sharp edged flavours are not for everyone.
George,
Absolutely loved it, very smoke yet extremely smooth!
Marcus,
My introduction to peaty whiskey. Definitely deep and complex. Harsh, but with enough flavor to back it up.
Bradley,
Liked the nose But the finish was a bit harsh.
James,
Full, hearty and very smoky
Cody,
Best for the money, my go to scotch! Smokey and smooth
Aleksander,
smoky
Marvin,
A little smoke but lots of rich flavor.
Benjamin,
Great!
Joseph,
Strong initial bite but rich and deep flavor. Pairs well with red meat. Smoky on the nose, salted peat to the palate and rich sweet finish.
guest,
A fantastic choice to drink by the sea on a summer night
Ron,
I know some long time scotch drinks that will swear by Talisker but for me the smoke just killed the enjoyment. It was like drinking a camp fire.
Daniel,
As a fan of smoky whisky, I found this one very enjoyable. Smoky and peaty with a mildly sweet finish. Excellent.
Thomas,
My all-time favorite, always.
The top of the hill above the distillery is all peat bog (and a beautiful view!), so the dilute water adds an extra hit of peat.
guest,
Smooth and accessible.
Mark,
Smoky, salty, smooth
Matt,
Talisker is my go to scotch. Such an amazing blend of smoke and peat and an essence of salt water.
Justin,
If you enjoy gargling with salt water and charcoal, Talisker is the Scotch for you and you can have it. I like it less than Lagavulin and that is saying something.
Marc,
This is my second bottle. From the first sip I was sold. The smokiness is the best I have tasted. Plan on enjoying it best when "Outlander" begins in September.
guest,
Really great scotch that I enjoyed as a scotch novice. Love the peat and it reminds me to sip and enjoy.
Matthew,
A little rough for my taste
guest,
Nice, spicy, sweet, silt.
James,
Love the smokey smoothness of this dram. I would buy it again and again. I recommend this dram with a little water or an ice cube.
guest,
Smokey and sublime. Not quite the impact of Lagavulin but delicious nonetheless.
Mariano,
First trully whisky contact
guest,
Liquid ash! In a good way.
007,
I love this scotch. Salty, peaty, and oh so good! Plus the Bond tie-in makes an even more tempting buy. Bond fan or not, this scotch is great!
Michael,
Honestly, one of the best scotch whiskeys I have ever tasted. The perfect balance of smokey, spicy, and sweet notes in one dram.
guest,
My favourite. Nicely balanced with a great flavour.
guest,
Wonderfully unique with a nice complexity for a 10 year.
guest,
delicious
Stephen,
Very smooth. Although I did enjoy the port ruighe much more. Has a sweet taste, followed by smoke, and then a little salt. It lingers for a while as well leaving a nice peaty taste.
guest,
Great bang for the buck. My go to
Gary,
Salty, smoky, peaty, but all balanced
guest,
Smoky, salty, wow a great one!
Andrew,
If you're looking for a peaty and smokey scotch with a touch of sweetness this is it!
Will,
One of my favorites, smoke and sea with a long finish. Perfect!
Denis,
Хороший сбалансированный вкус. Копчёностей в меру. Богатое послевкусие.
Steven,
The 10 can be a bit hot for some, but I'm in love!
guest,
If you're big into Scotch this is one to put on your list.
Jay,
Good smoke. Took me a bit to find the salt, but it adds a nice flavor
Paul,
It was alright.
guest,
Great, spicy and salty.
guest,
Classic old school whisky. Big and bold. Agent 007's favorite dram. A great one indeed.
guest,
Nice fruity body
guest,
Smoky
guest,
For me this is the archetype of the pepper flavor.
guest,
Well priced, a little to ashy for my liking
Matthias,
Rough like Sea... In a good way.
Grant,
Interesting and intriguing, well worth trying and will have it again
