Talisker

This dram definitely makes me feel the same way as I did after some of my favorite Port Ellen drams but it’s definitely much cheaper then the PEs

An excellent Talisker that reminds you that sometimes in the world of whisky, age is just a number

A good 1970s Talisker definitely with a more complex nose & palate compared to the UD Talisker 1989 27 Years Old 51,6%. A rare case in which, in a side-by-side comparison, I enjoy the dram with a significantly lower ABV. This Talisker would have been a much more enjoyable dram with a bit more peat / smokiness

Definitely not a memorable Talisker but at the same time there’s not really any major offnotes

The palate & finish becomes a bit better & fuller with a bigger gulp but it is still a disappointing 25 years old Talisker, especially from such an old line (bottled in 1977 for the Queen’s Silver Jubilee). Maybe this is a dram more suited for sherry-style lovers but definitely not what I wanted nor expected from a Talisker
