Released in early 2013, Talisker Storm has all the warm, smoky, peppery characteristics we all love in the standard Talisker 10yo - but they've been turned up a notch, with more smoke, more spices, and a bigger-than-ever flavour explosion. Rich and unexpectedly honeyed initially. Then some pleasing singed oaky notes and bandage aromas. Now bonfire smoke comes through.
