Today I want to share with you one of my favorite single malt scotch distilleries to drink around this time of year. Its Talisker! Today we are talking a little history and a lot of what makes their whiskey one of my favorites to sip during the cold winter months, including a rare Talisker 25 year! I also cover the classic 10 year, 8 year rum finish, Storm, Dark Storm and 18 year old! Enjoy the video!

Yeah.. we're going to need you to do more of these distillery line ups.. I think these videos are the best and most informative for both new and experienced whiskey enthusiasts because it helps give an opinion of comparison. Very nice.

@chrisgraff2773 2 жыл бұрын

Talisker Distillers Edition is an absolute must try and review. I'm also a big Talisker fan and the DE is my favorite. Maybe you could do a Distillers Editions battle if you can line up Oban DE, Lagavulin DE and Talisker DE.

The 10 year old edges out the 18 for me, not by a lot but the 10 is one of my first loves in scotch. Excellent video, more like this please :)

@samwise8679 3 ай бұрын

I’m digging the scotch reviews! Cracked the 10 year open tonight and was blown away.

The Distillers Edition (10y.o. finished in Amoroso sherry casks) is what got me into Talisker. The ten is a staple as long as it stays cheap. I don’t know if I would splurge on the 18, that kind of money I tend to keep for Octomore 🤪 Nice video thanks ! You would love the Distillers Edition btw, Amoroso is PX mixed with Oloroso if I remember well. Chocolate peated goodness, complex yet easy sipper 💥

Love it, Jason! Skye is the ancestral home of the Clan McLeod, my mother’s people, so grew up with Talisker and really enjoy them all. I think retail on the 25 is around $250 (about double the 18), so I hear you, but I do think it’s a small step up. Storm and good old 10 are wonderful too, as you say!! Sláinte!

Nice video. Talisker is great! You should try the Talisker Distillers Edition. Should be a just a little more expensive than the 10. It’s finished in Amorroso Sherry.

@munsulight721 2 жыл бұрын

Talisker 10 is still one of my favorite value whiskey. The quality for this price is so hard to beat. 18 Is the best for sure I agree. 57 North is maybe just a little bit under 10 for me, but I do take into considerations price..

If you ever have the chance the 30 year cask strength is out of this world but for the modern official lineup the 18 strikes the right balance of value and quality - love that you’re branching out into international whisk(e)y more and more. Cheers!

When you said "it sounds gross but its delicious", that description is similar to my Ardbeg 10 description. I think it tastes like licking sugar off a burnt tire, but in a good way.

@todd9881 2 жыл бұрын

Talisker 10 may be the best value in scotch. Around 80 or 85 in these days for that level of quality is incredible

@jonfilipa2478 2 жыл бұрын

After being mostly in the bourbon world I ventured a few months back and purchased bottles of Lagavulin, Laphroaig Lore, and Talisker 10. They are all great but honestly my favorite - at least for now - is the Talisker 10. The Talisker has a nice blend of caramel, sea salt, and smoky + sweet peat. And what I really like is the finish as it presents as more salt and sweet caramel versus the more savory, bacon like finish of Lagavulin and Laphroaig. Really enjoyed this lineup review and will have to keep an eye out for the 18 and the Storm / Dark Storm as well. Cheers!

Talisker 10 is the the one I own right now. The 10 is a very good Scotch but I will be looking to buy the 18 since you did this video. I love the channel. Keep on Tubeing!

@marksaliba4194 2 жыл бұрын

Awesome rundown, Jason. Talisker 10 is the dram that hooked me on Scotch, and it's one of my favourite distilleries. My favourite is the 15yo special release, but they're all good. The Port Ruighe and the distillers edition are good, but they are less Talisker-y in my opinion. But you're right, I'd stick with the 10 for price/value. Cheers Jason 🥃🇨🇦🇺🇲

@customer9845 Жыл бұрын

Talisker 25 was very cheap in Belgium. I picked up 2 bottles for $250 each. Great for $250 but not worth over $350. 57 North was fantastic and I wish I had acquired more bottles when I had the chance. Single Cask Nation had some fantastic cask strength independent releases as well.

@cpakid6224 2 жыл бұрын

I'm not a huge peated person, but for whatever reason the Longrow Red series is one i can get into. They're hard to find, but well worth it if you do. Nice review Jason

@robquinn9 2 жыл бұрын

Great video, Jason. I am a Scotch rookie for sure. Highland Park 12 got me hooked first and I next tried Talisker 10. It is outstanding. Heard on one review it described as "gingerbread cookie by a campfire" and I think that's appropriate. Hooked on this one too and looking to spread my wings out some more.

@jimm8799 2 жыл бұрын

I drink a good bit of Scotch, but sadly I have never had Talisker. I tend to stay away from whisky with coloring (or low ABV), but I have a bottle of Talisker 2011 distillers edition that I have never opened. Will open it when it gets a bit cooler (December down here…)

If I could get the Talisker 18 for $160 then I would have bought it 2 years ago. It is priced at $200 here which has been enough for me to go with another whisky. That being said, I still might buy it in the next year.

I’ve had the 10 and the 18, and really enjoyed both. Didn’t know enough about the storm to splurge on that yet. Bummed about the 25.

Nice, love the Talisker! Not sure why but in FL I cannot get the 10 for less than $80 pretty much anywhere and for less than that I would just get the Port Charlotte all day when I want a good smoky scotch. At least the Storm is a more reasonable $55-60 in my neck of the woods

Great reviews. Love Talisker but I tend to stick with their cask strength bottlings. The newer 25 yr olds are a shell of what they were from 2001-2009. Also, if you can find the 2018 8 yr Special Release grab it. It's one of my fav sub-10 yr olds, and so much better than their last two 8 yr old releases.

Came for the Talisker, but that Found North corn whisky on the barrel piques my interest. Is that batch 2 or 4? You should review that soon so I know whether to drop the money on it Thanks for the insight on the Talisker row. Been into lowland and highland but seems like a good place to start on the Islay/Islands.

Might have to try the Storm sometime. That and 10 are the only easily obtainable ones locally, and the 10 goes for $80. Now since they're the same age and at similar price points, which would you rather take, Bunna 18 or Talisker 18?

Talisker is terrific. It’s just WAY overpriced here (in Florida), and is tough to find. Storm is worth $60 IMO, and Dark Storm is worth $70 IMO. If I can find either here, they go for $100 + each. Nope, not worth it for that price.
