Take your oyster that has been shucked, but is still in the shell, dribble a little Talisker 10 (or Laphroaig, or any peated whisky) and tip it back, oyster and whisky combined. Then agree with me that it is a damn fine way to consume oysters!

Straight to the point. Awesome. My palate is VERY uneducated but my first sip of Talisker 10 and I was blown away. The fresh sea added a 3D flavour to my recently discovered love for peat. Damn I can’t wait to try ALM the other islays

I love the fact that you have discovered peat. Islay is perfect for researching peated whiskies. Bowmore I recommend as a starting point as their whiskies are very in balance; peat but lots of other stuff. From there the sky is the limit!

Dude, you are spot on with Oysters!! I had an Islay McClelland with Oysters recently and the brine cancelled each other out, and a sweet came to my pallet that wasn't there before. Brilliant. Laphroiag, any Laphroiag is my top.

Good comparison! Here in the Atlanta area, the Talisker 10 runs at least $20-$30 MORE than the Talisker Storm. Heck I used to be able to get it for less than $30. Now it's anywhere between $43 and $50. The 10 year is usually closer to $70. I love the Storm, but whenever I can get a bottle of the 10 under $60 I do so. MUCH smoother, but I love the "bite" of the Storm, and that almost peppery finish, especially if I let it linger on the palatte.

Was curious about the storm. Had a bottle of Talisker 10. I couldn’t decide if I liked it or not, the peat and smoke was so strong. Then my buddy and his wife tried it and said it reminded them of the smell of a doctors office, and now that’s all I can associate it with, 😂

I’ve been contemplating trying the Storm to compare, but now having seen this I think I’ll stick with tried and tested.

Totally agree, the T10 is and has been for years - batch variations aside - a real bang for the buck and imho renders the Storm/Dark Storm and Skye at the same/higher price obsolete if you are out for the best quality. One reason these bottles were introduced into the market was to counter shortage of the 10 yo at the time and to diversify their brand and be able to offer their whisky in bulk to supermaret chains + any interested retailer for that matter. Mind you that they use E150a especially in the Dark Storm to make it look more attractive. The Ruighe and Distillers Edition are better and more attractive b/c of the additional wood finish, the DE being more smooth and complex than the 10 adding some nice sherry notes. Talisker surely works just as well in different barrels, same as e.g. Caol Ila and Lagavulin.

Great review. Our thoughts are mirrored on this. The Storms not a bad whiskey, but it doesn't compare to the ten. Personally, I'm am Ardbeg guy myself anyways so I tend to go for the green bottle but I always have a bottle of Talisker on the shelf. Have you tried the Wee Beastie from Ardbeg yet. Damn fine dram for a 5 year old.

I still cannot tell all the flavors, but I can say I could feel the wood, a little smoke, not much, a little saltiness and a slight sweetness. Later, in the last sips, the salt became much more apparent. But this sweet warmth in the mouth it leaves in the end, just fantastic. Thank you again.

@@NivlasNightcapNotes in my locale Laga 8 is $57 USD and Laga 16 is $102. Single malts in NY have really been pricing themselves into the stratosphere over the past few years. Finding Talisker 10 under $65 is a challenge also as it's price has also spiked.

I assume NY stands for New York. Here in Australia (remembering our dollar is about 75c US) Laga 16 costs $130 and Laga 8 costs $105. So for an extra $25 you get another 8 years in barrel. Can't understand the thinking behind that pricing! If New York is your home, are you a Yankees fan or a Mets fan?
