Review for Talisker Wilder Seas Parley

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.

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.
