Meet Deets

Meet #80 | 22/10/16 | Hosted by Jamie
A peaty evening this time around, comparing a standard Talisker 10yo to a new airport bottling, then blowing them both away (maybe?) with a cask strength Lagavulin 7yo.

Other bottles sampled:
#178 Talisker 10yo | SSWC review 80a
#179 Talisker Dark Storm | SSWC review 80b

Smells

Biscuit, fresh, pine cleaner, lavender.

Tastes

Tasty: living room the morning after a fire, biscuity, creamy, burnt toast, adrenalin, pre-puking taste in the throat (metallic). Grass and lemon. Basil.

Finishes

Despite not recording any finishes per se, it's safe to say this one had a long, enjoyable and peaty finish - which everyone seemed to enjoy!

Comments

Lime green colour, gloopy.
