As the cask influence isn't too pronounced, it's not a strongly matured type. From the aroma, fresh citrus like lemon and plant-like notes of young leaves were clearly present, along with strong barley characteristics. With the presence of sea elements and strong smokiness, it felt like a straightforward Talisker without any artificial touches. Due to its high alcohol content, it has a powerful and spicy attack. Similar to the aroma, the fresh character remained with a plain cask influence. While the obvious maturity isn't strongly felt, the texture suggesting barley umami seeping in seems to have been brought about by bottle aging. Though not a complex matured type, it was a Talisker that directly conveyed the original spirit's character and umami. #Talisker (TALISKER)
