Amber Room Review

Distiller’s Agency Talisker 8

23 June 2026
92

Nose

Beautiful nose, an almost perfect balance between peat smoke & sherry, does not get overwhelmingly peaty or sweet, sea smoke, salty

Body

A very good 8yo whisky, definitely the best 8yo Islay whisky I have ever drank, very smoky but not in an overwhelming way but more like lingering in your mouth and leaving a lasting impression, with a hint of caramel honey sweetness

Finish

Long finish with zero bitterness or oakiness
