OB 57° North 57% - Talisker

Postby C57 » 10 Jan 2009, 20:23

Talisker 57°

Nose : The first thing that hits me here is lemons! In a Talisker? The peat is still there though. Very unusual.

Palate : The lemon peat theme continues but the peppery explosion is greater than even in the 10! The mouthfeel is quite creamy and coating. Very nice but very unexpected.

Finish : Wow that pepper really bites now! All the lemon and peat is still here.

Really surprised by this one that was a sample from Rene. Very unexpected lemon flavours plus more pepper than anything I've
