Talisker TALISKER 1979-1999 20yo CADENHEAD Authentic Collection 61.5%
one of 318 bottles, Bourbon Hogshead
The aroma has a plain cask feel, dry, with subtle citrus and plum-like fruits, cinnamon, vanilla, ginger, strong barley notes, seawind, and powerful smoke.
When drinking, it is very spicy, citrusy, with a concentrated texture that's highly chewy, rich barley umami and seafood dashi umami, with a light body but refined sweetness and good acidity, plain cask feel, clean finish, strong peat, and a clean aftertaste.
【Very Good】
This Talisker 1979, aged for 20 years, was bottled in 1999 as part of Cadenhead's Authentic Collection.
It is a type that showcases Cadenhead's high proof and plain cask feel, allowing the original spirit's flavor to be clearly understood.
True to Talisker, it is dry and very spicy, with citrusy citruses and a strong, rich barley note that feels youthful, accompanied by seafood dashi-like umami, seaweed notes, and an intense smokiness.
If you like peaty malts like this, it's full of umami yet has a strong clean finish, making it impossible to get tired of drinking.
This might be due to the plain cask feel, but it's also impressive how such a distinctive whisky is wrapped in a clean and refined nuance overall.
