I've got a single malt scotch whisky from the Talisker distillery on the Isle of Skye today. This is the Talisker Parley X Wilder Seas. It's a limited edition release that's been finished in Cognac casks, which sounds interesting. I'll taste it and give you my thoughts. Cheers!

Hah - what a coincidence - bought this in the airport just a week ago, and drank (a lot of) it on a trip to the mountains with Scottish friends. Went down a storm. Delicious. And a beautiful bottle.

Nice review. Talisker is not a brand I usually enjoy but I loved this bottle and it has inspired me to give Talisker another go. It got released as a club release with The Whisky Club in Australia and think it was well received.

Love the T 10, SKY and Storm can be good value if I can get the price drop right at the local supermarket. Sadly this year is about finishing off those half filled bottles and not going on a crusade of F+F bottles or indiesb but will have an eye out for something I want ( no longer need ). Keep them coming Geoff, they are something to look forward to.

Thank you for another lovely review. Which Talisker would you pick from the regular line? 10YO, Skye, Storm, Port Ruighe... I used to be so impressed by the Dark Storm, travel retail release, and now having 10YO after that, feels like a little disappointment.

Thanks for this review Geoff. I love Talisker, especially the old 10yo label, but I've stuck with this one version for too long. And unfortunately, I have to complain about a loss of quality, of maturity, in favour of a more medicinal and briny profile. Even the new labels have become very ugly, betraying the old classic and easily recognizable style, for a cartoonish style, with those horrible orange or, even worse, purple inserts, perhaps created to attract the younger generations. I was never convinced by the new bottlings like Skye, Storm, Surge, etc. because they lack transparency and I have never understood what differentiates one version from another. This Talisker x Parley Wilder Seas, after your convincing review, seems much more interesting to me, and a valid alternative to the 57° North which I was never able to get as it is out of production. I will never buy the 18yo instead, unless they suddenly discount it, as they did with the Lagavulin 16yo, which I got for 68 euros on Amazon.it, while in supermarkets it still costs above 100 euros.
