Whisky .com tastes the Talisker 10 years old.
Nosing:
Strong, full, big peat smoke, seaweed, citrus, some spiciness in the back
Taste:
Strong, fresh ground black pepper, sharp, in the back some fruits and oak
Finish:
The sharpness is dissolving and the spiciness stays longer

I won’t introduce this to my friends.... I’ll keep it for myself
Even though Talisker is often advised not to be a good starter whisky, it's the first whisky I tried that I really enjoyed. I love this stuff. :)
I never understand why people say not to introduce people to strong single malts. Honestly I always start with the stronger ones and they get people's attention immediately. Starting with some boring ones will not do much to people new to whisky tbh. My advice would always be to start with stronger, more intense ones both peated and un-peated
It was my second single malt and although it was weird in the first or second taste it came as a "good weird", I wanted to drink it again and again to understand it. Really great starter for me
Haha lost my whiskey virginity to this beauty
Thank you for your comments.
Bigfilmhat we all are jealous haha
Anyone more than I who likes the shape and surface of the Talisker pot stills ?
You the man Horst
Good evening. Six years later and i find this video, having just bought and tasted the Talisker 10 years. I am only a beginner but i just find it fascinating to taste and explore the subtle flavours and aromas of a good whisky. The whole process of reading, opening, serving, smelling and tasting is amazing. As a beginner, i still find it hard to tell all these flavours, but with the first 2-3 sips, i can say this whisky is very nicely strong and warm at the same time. To my totally unexperienced mouth, it is leaving a "wooden", peppery and slightly salty taste, with very subtle traces of sweetness in the end. Fantastic. I chose this particular whisky, wanting to avoid something fruity and very sweet, and i think i made the right choice.
The warmth it gives in the end is something incomparable.
Thanks a lot for the review.
Dear Master, thank you for the exceptional description of the Talisker 10's true character. Your ability to sense the complexities and nuanced flavours of anything you taste is beyond extraordinary. It's a true learning experience to watch your videos and then try the whisky myself. To my mind, this is one of the finest whiskies you can get on the market for a fair price. The more I drink it, the more I can picture how it could easily be consumed along with some high quality smoked salmon and brown bread as suggested on the box. Smokey to the nose, salty on the tongue. Spicy and peppery. What a masterpiece, made by the see!
Excellent summation, Horst. I might say that Talisker 10yo has more of a white pepper note than a black pepper note? More fiery than pungent, or at least that is my differentiation between the two pepper notes. Without sounding too literal, black pepper tastes dark and wide and white pepper is bright and "sharp".
It's a great "opener" whisky despite being such a big hitter. I like following it up with a big Islay. Talisker really seems to "prime your taste buds" for something big and loud like an Ardbeg or Lagavulin.
I've come to realise that I shouldn't "use" so many "quotation" marks, however the arbitrary nature of trying to vocalise what we find in whiskies often seems to require it....
Keep up the good "work"!
Whenever I buy a bottle of whiskey I find your video and taste it with you. This was delightful.
This was my first whisky bottle bought. I immediately fell in love with the pepperiness. Great whisky!
I am enjoying a dram of this lovely whisky right now. Horst you are a fucking legend. Thanks for your review sir.
Talisker 10 is one of my favorite. Good quality / price ratio!
Just got a bottle as a birthday gift. But before i have a taste it's always nice to hear what you've got to say
It is one of my favourite whiskies. I really like it!
tbh the 'gargling' used to bemuse me. now when i drink, which is typically at home, this method just brings out so much more in the malt. i love it. and btw, im tasting this talisker 10yo like i havent before.
Oh dear me this is a NICE malt..... VERY MUCH has that sea maritime interlaced with smoke and dried fruit sweetness. Some bitterness creeps in to overlie everything else going on with a peppery finish. The smoke and oak bitterness fades along with the sweetness-----but that smoke returns and remains a whisper on the palate long after the last sip............. Just beautiful...
Having a dram of this right now. An excellent scotch. Managed to pick a bottle up for 30 euros (!) On sale at a local store. Incredible value for money.
Actually, Talisker 10 was my own introduction to proper whisky and this is the whisky that made me a whisky lover. So, it depends, are your friends able to handle a proper drink? If so, this whisky may change their entire perspective on whisky, like it did for me.
Tried Talisker 10 for first time today, and it’s amazing number 2 on my
List behind Lagavulin 16
I just tried this whisky yesterday and it is delicious! A lovely smokey woody flavor, but no bitterness. The pepper also kicks in, giving a wonderful white pepper and spice flavor and a sort of fruityness that reminds me of dried fruits. A wonderful whisky.
Coming from a tiny island off the Swedish west coast, I always found this Whisky tasting like home, must be the sea weed or something.. 😊
Extraordinary malt. Like a campfire on Skye. Have yet to come across another malt so enchanting as this one. The other expressions - distillers edition and the 18 - bring even more to the table.
I just got my hands on a bottle of this one for about 3 hours ago which i had made an order on, now its on my shelf in the livingroom along with my other favourites, just cant wait to open the bottle smell it and give it a curious first taste and zip
Thanks for the review Horst!
We just bought a small bottle of the 10yo to try "step up the game" from the American stuff - And had to watch a review of it at the same time tasting it ourselvs, I'm kind of new to this, but can feel the same as you descibe, and it was good. Maybe a tit to powerfull for my taste just now. My girlfriend really liked it, and I continue the search for "my" Whisky! :)
It's easy for me as a beginner to confuse peppery with alcohol bite...I put this bottle to the same side of my bar as laphroig and ardbeg...love Smokey whisky
Love this guy, what a great way of reviewing Whiskey
Min favorit. Alla kategorier. Vi tog oss över med färjan till Skye. Där tog det slut. Bergsvägen hade rasat ner efter bergssidan och var helt borta. Tältade och tog färjan över till Kyle of Lochalsh på morgonen efter. Alltså inget besök på Taliskers destilleri i Carbost
I CAN'T WAIT TO GET A BOTTLE!
You can hear the peat in his voice
ganz klar einer unserer lieblingswhiskys!
First malt I tried yen years ago, I tasted smoke, salt and TCP. Ten years later tastes the same. Quality
Talisker 10 is between 18-22 ppm. I like it a lot when I'm in the mood for a lightly peated scotch. (Mostly I like heavely peated scotch)
What a great scotch! This video made me want more
This was my second whisky I tried and I like the smokiness / wood flavor. For me it is a strong but smooth whisky.
Love this whisky one of my favourites
Great video, think I may have to explore this type of whiskey further now! Very interested.
The best at it these reviews are good
Non like it his reviews are top notch
seems to use it like listerine..5:44.
@Brandon Renner and gives your mouth a good clean in the process.
Extreme, strong, peppery ,sharp....
I generally don't like peaty whiskey's but hot dam this is just yum!
Horst has developed the very best sign language.
I only buy talisker 10 , kilkerran 12, and glen Scotia 15. That's enough for me.
I've bought myself a bottle today and before I try it I wanted to hear your opinion, it's seems it's a good whisky,
I think they are using casks from rye whiskey. Interesting. The spice gives it away.
Is it smokey In the same sense as Ardbed or Port Charlotte?
My go to dram. It tastes o’ the isles
as someone relatively new to whisky that started mainly with the Japanese offerings.
I tried this one night out at dinner and i thought i had eaten a cigar while drinking this, didn't enjoy it at all and so it was then i found out that smokey whisky isn't for me haha.
Hi, Does anyone know when was the Talisker 10 release year? It was in 1988 for the Classic malts series or before?
I had a talisker 10 yesterday but did not finish it and let some drops sit over night. i woke the next day and nosed it, and it smelled like rosehip tea. Im very new to whisky but im wondering if anyone else has this note in this whisky when it is just being poured?
It's been mentioned on this channel in other reviews (Ardbeg comes to mind) that you can pick up extra notes by smelling a glass the next morning and that you can then pick up those notes in a fresh pour once you know what you're looking for. I found that to be true - Ardbeg has some wondrous sweet notes. I'll try the same for Talisker tomorrow.
this was my first whisky..
This whisky is like tasting a stormy sea.
That is alot of taliskers...
Once I took it to my brother in law house and he added ice and red bull.......
Just had a couple of drams love it really spicy ❤❤
Which is smokier Horst, Talisker 10 or Laphroiag 10?
Def Laphroaig 10
Talisker 10 or Laphroaig 10?
Laphroaig Quarter Cask!
Get both, they r my favs
Get both, they r my favs
Talisker hands down. Laphroaig it's too "quick and simple" for my taste, many would disagree, but I find it a bit undertone.
Aaron9 seconded
Thanks for the video! With all due respect if I may (I'm British): it's pronounced Hebridees. :-) Have a great day
Tastes like tcp 😂
Hahaha all these whiskey tasting review crack me up. sweetness and fruits the second time lol, I taste smokiness and more smokiness. fruit tastes out of a peaty whiskey...whats next, orange juice?
Talisker 10year is one crappy drink smells like a chemical tastes like a chemical awful, I will go for any blended whisky instead of this.
