Let’s see if it can surprise me and that hopefully in a positive way

Appearance:
Color: Mahogany. Very oily as one can see by the streaks on the glass as they flow down quite slow

Nose: 90/100 points
Sherry, dark dried fruits, raisins, plums, furniture polish, old oak furniture, honey, dusty leather, some Vanilla, Caramel, red fruits, some orange peels but not very strong. The old dark heavy flavors dominate the whole time an give it a nice depth and heaviness.

Taste: 89/100 points
Dark dried fruits, the Sherry flavor is very present, many red fruits as well, old oak furniture and the furniture polish shows up again, chocolate, plums, raisins, leather, honey, some Caramel, the orange peels are here a bit stronger than in the nose, becoming a bit salty and tart. Later creamy and oily

Finish: 88/100 points
Very fruity with red fruits, a bit fruit sourness, honey and a bit dark chocolate. The old oak is here present as well. More tart and a bit sour notes stay quite long on the tongue.

Conclusion:
the force is strong with this one. Many of the aspects and flavors of this Whisky fulfilled my expectations. Very nice Tobermory. Needs time to open up. But then it shows itself very complex in its profile

Overall I give this Whisky: 89/100 WhiskyYoda points

Remarks:

one must like sulfur thou.

Overall I rate this Whisky:

• Nose:
  Strong start. intense Sherry flavor with a sulfur note that comes through. Many dried and red fruits, some berries, Vanilla and a hint of chocolate and over all the smell of smoke. quite complex imho for that age.
  
  
• Taste:
  strong start with many smokey flavors combined with the red and dry fruits from the Sherry cask. Here the sulfur note is less noticeable. Very full mouthfeel.
  
  
• Finish:
  here I get the same flavors like the once on the palate but a bit softer and without the sulfur. But it lasted quite long.

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.
