Indeed, this vintage Cadenhead is full of delicious expressions. TALISKER 1979-1998 19yo Cadenhead Original Collection 46% one of 432 bottles The aroma features matured, strong malt with metallic and chlorinated notes, fish smoke, earth, sharp and intense peat, and apricot jam from the depths. When drinking, it starts with a concentrated bite that gradually becomes spicy, with matured rich barley sweetness seeping into the tongue. The sweetness is moderate, earthy and smoky, with spiciness lingering in the aftertaste. 【Very Good】 Cadenhead green bottle diluted type, from the Original Collection, TALISKER 1979, aged for 19 years. Cadenhead green bottles from 1979 are known to be very delicious, including cask strength versions, so I had high expectations for this one. This era's Cadenhead has a plain cask character, but due to dilution, there are positive aging changes. Overall, it has a concentrated feel and a rich, matured maltiness that lingers on the tongue. Of course, it has the strong peatiness and spiciness typical of TALISKER, with a moderately dry flavor and a faint cool metallic touch, offering a unique deliciousness. Indeed, this specification is a classic. #TALISKER (TALISKER)
