\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>DISTILLERY <\/strong>Talisker<\/p>\n

ALCOHOL <\/strong>57%<\/p>\n

REGION <\/strong>Isle of Skye<\/p>\n

COLOR <\/strong>Amber, much lighter than a regular 10 year old Talisker<\/p>\n

NOSE<\/strong> Sweet fruit, nectar<\/p>\n

PALATE <\/strong>PHWOOOAAAARRRRR — Talisker is already pretty potent in its regular form, but the 57% percent packs a mean punch.\u00a0 It’s now much more front loaded in taste.\u00a0 It has a strong bite but still retains that distinct Talisker blend of peat and flavour.<\/p>\n

FINISH <\/strong>Your face gradually stops contorting after the initial hit.\u00a0 It’s quite acidic, lingering taste of oranges.<\/p>\n

SCORE<\/strong><\/p>\n

80 out of 100<\/span>
\n<\/strong><\/h1>\n

NOTES <\/strong>I started doing Whisky Wednesday nearly twelve months ago and after a hiatus during the summer, why not go back to where it all began and have another Talisker.\u00a0 I got this 57 North as part of a sampler pack when I was touring distillerys in Scotland.<\/p>\n

The 57 North is basically an amplified version of the 10 Year Old.\u00a0 It doesn’t list an age on the bottle.\u00a0 What you’re getting here is Talisker On Steroids.\u00a0 Although the same great taste of the regular variety is there, its a bit like ordering an Extra Hot version of your favourite curry.\u00a0 It’s a nice novelty but I can’t imagine anyone regularly drinking this stuff.\u00a0 Well, not unless they’re trying to forget an ex-wife or a failed business venture or something.<\/p>\n
