Review for Talisker Wilder Seas Parley
| Brand | Talisker | Cask# | n/a |
| Series | Parley | Vintage | n/a |
| Bottler | Distillery Bottling | Bottled | 2023 |
| Casks | Cognac Finish | Age | NAS |
| ABV | 48.6% | Non-Cillfiltered | n/a |
| Whiskybase ID | 229467 | Natural color | no |
Remarks:
Solid Talisker.
Nice flavors but personally I find the 10 year old standard better than this one
Overall I rate this Whisky: 
- Nose:
maritime, salty, citrus fruits, lime, later comes some maritime smoke. Slightly alcoholic sting, a few berries come through - Taste:
Here you immediately sense the Talisker DNA, maritime, light smoke, citrus fruits, a slight sweet salty note. Fruits appear and later also some fruit acid. - Finish:
Maritime salty with a few fruits. Later then fruit acid that lasts longer.

spicy oak notes, herbs, green apple, light fruits, light maritime notes, some malt, some leather. Very salivating. - Finish:
Herbs, spicy oak, bright fruits. Slightly malty with maritime notes. Later leather and a bit bitterly dry.
Long lasting.

Review for Tobermory 1995 JW Old Train Line
| Brand | Tobermory | Cask# | 713 |
| Series | Old Train Line | Vintage | 1995 |
| Bottler | Jack Wiebers Whisky World (JW) | Bottled | 2018 |
| Casks | Bourbon | Age | 22yo |
| ABV | 44.3% | Non-Cillfiltered | yes |
| Whiskybase ID | 109973 | Natural color | yes |
Remarks:
Very nice Tobermory with a very interesting fruity profile.
Really great bourbon barrel aging
Overall I rate this Whisky:
- Nose:
Lots of light fruits, apricot, grapefruit, dragon fruit, some malt, vanilla and caramel, herbs, fresh oak, some light honey and white chocolate - Taste:
Here too there is a lot of fruit at the start, grapefruit, some apricot, herbs, malt, spicy oak, some leather, slightly oily creamy, light honey, dragon fruit - Finish:
Soft and oily but the aromas are a bit thin at the beginning, later the fruit, the leather and the oak come through.
These aromas last quite a long time on the palate.
