.talisker - NAS - provenance

From Douglas Laing, we received a sample of this Talisker without an age statement as part of the #RockOyster twitter tasting. A Young and Feisty little dram, this....

46% abv, €70, single malt, non-chill filtered, natural colour

Nose: smoky, sweet, mint, eucalyptus, liquorice, red fruit

Palate: sweet, honey, liquorice, spicy, white pepper, slightly dry

Finish: sweet, honey, floral, heather, a hint of ash, medium long
Mark: +++++ 

Conclusion: Rather nice and balanced, but not something to have as an every day dram, Certainly nice enough when a spring evening outside is just getting chilly enough to need a sweater. Sadly, this is following a trend, price-wise.
