talisker forests of the deep 44 year old whiskey

Nose

Mellow, light, and peppery at first, complex, top notes are wood-forward (dunnage warehouse, hint of sandalwood), fragrant smoke (smoldering leaves); beneath are scents of tablet toffee, "salt taffy," and some maritime notes (seaweed, warm sand).

Oily, slightly waxy (teeth-coating), lightly sweet, umami-rich taste that becomes smoky-sweet and savory with salt mid-palate and lightly drying.

Finish

Drying to a long, warming finish. A sweet-chili pepper warmth over the palate. Lingering fragrant smoke and tablet in the aftertaste.
