Talisker 25 Single malt Scotch Whisky

45.8% abv, 700 ml, Isle of Skye, Scotland.

Tasting notes: Nose: Banana fritters, sea spray, old oak furniture, cider apples, a whiff of Frazzles, all held together with crumbly fudge notes. Palate: Floral heather - perhaps a hint of rose too. Develops heavier notes of salted caramel, chilli chocolate, smoky barley and nectarines. Finish: Smoke becomes sweet on the finish, with an undercurrent of cedar.
