【Good/Very Good】
This Talisker 2006, aged for 8 years, was bottled to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Public Bar Islands. It is a rare bottle with clear Talisker branding. Though quite young and slightly new make-like, the dominant smoky and briny seafood nuances overshadow any youthful off-flavors. The barley and seafood umami clearly reflect the Islands' character, making this a fitting commemorative bottling. While most Talisker releases from bottlers omit distillery names, this one proudly displays the label—a rarity. It feels appropriately celebratory for the 10th anniversary.
Happy 10th Anniversary!
