Суммаризация отзывов
Отзывы о Talisker 12-year-old расходятся: часть отмечает богатство, баланс и дымно-солёный профиль, часть считает его слабее стандартного 10-летнего.
развернуть подробно
В текстовых отзывах встречаются как высокие оценки, так и критика. Положительно описывают богатство и выразительность, баланс и долгое послевкусие, «яркий, открытый» аромат с дымным солодом, морским бризом, минеральностью, цитрусами и нотой шерри, а во вкусе — фруктовую сладость, соль, перец и дым. Отмечают также морской дым, водоросли, мёд, карамель, перец и длинный финиш, сочетание дыма, соли, дыни и жёлтых яблок, а также шерри, лёгкий торфяной дым и фруктовость. Некоторые прямо сравнивают его с 10-летним: «очень похож на Talisker 10 — трудно pinpoint различия во вкусе, но баланс лучше»; другой отзыв предпочитает стандартный 10-летний из-за цены, отмечая, что этот «немного слаще и мягче в финише», тогда как у 10-летнего больше перечной пряности.
Критические отзывы тоже присутствуют. Один называет виски «сухим», с «винностью» и кислотностью, что мешает получить ожидаемое удовольствие. Другой описывает его как «странный Talisker», больше сладкий, чем дымный, и предполагает, что вслепую принял бы его за Glengoyne. Есть мнения, что 10-летний «намного лучше», что это «слабый Talisker» с резкостью алкоголя, а также жалоба на «мыльный» вкус. Отдельно отмечают короткий финиш и «фенольный торфяной дым», «относительно короткий финиш» и то, что дымность Talisker мешает. Некоторые отзывы содержат только оценки или номера бутылок без содержательных описаний.

Very rich and expressive, good balance, long aftertaste, this is exactly what I lack in the 10-year-old releases that were conditionally bottled after 2005.
There is a signature style, but the whisky is quite dry in my opinion, but thanks to the sherry casks everything is good! 21 22 22 22 87 In 2007, for some reason, it is tinted with some wineiness, acidity, + it is quite dry, which is not typical, and this prevents me from getting the expected pleasure. And this whisky of 2007 was no exception. But I am picking on this, in general, everything is OK, another very good batch, they haven’t made such for a long time, neither in 2024, nor for a long time before...

A young, uncrowned Talisker, the basis is very wiry, quite a lot of peat, there is no harmony with the barrels, but overall not bad.
Yes. 75 points means a good interesting whisky but not a classic.

A strange Talisker, not at all like any of the other Taliskers I have ever tried. There is a small amount of smoke, but it is more sweet than smokey. If it was a blind I would guess a Glengoyne.Very interesting whisky and a good edition to any collection but not as good as the 10yo or the brilliant DE.
a rare Talisker. The 10 year is much better
First nose that evokes a woody bourbon (!) And the smoke comes gradually integrate, revealing its identity. That's grilled ham in the mouth. Final very muscular for 45.8 °! Enthusiasm 4/5
[April, 2014] I had this dram during a FoSM club tasting.In my old rating system (ten scales that translate into WB points: 50 - 66 - 75 - 80 - 82,5 - 85 - 87,5 - 90 - 92,5 - 95) I scored it 85. My notes state "nice Talisker, but I had better ones..."
Aroma - bright, open. Smoked malt, sea breeze, minerality, sweet tangerines and peaches, sherry note. Some spicy spices and pepper, wood. Taste - bright, sweet - salty. In the foreground, fruity sweetness, raisins, citrus fruits, minerality. The second tier is spicy spices, pepper, motor oil, fumigated wood. Aftertaste - longer than average, sweet - salty. Peat, minerality, citrus peel, pepper, wet wood.
The nose has a lot of power. At the same time, aromas of days long past flow into my nose. Menthol cherries, wonderful oak, smoke. Slightly musty. A deep breath brings moist tobacco, but not the sweet new stuff...old pipe tobacco, crème brûlée, caramel The burning tobacco rolls on the tongue. Smoke, light pepper, salt, tobacco...clearly, the sweetness is not that present here, it comes across as rather spicy and dry.
Average whisky, for a lot of money. Lots of freshness, peat smoke, apple, lemon and salty breeze. €300 for such a whisky, unfortunately not for me.

Aroma - bright, open. Cucumber malt, sea breeze, minerality, sweet tangerines and peaches, sherry note. Some spicy spices and pepper, wood. Taste - bright, sweet - salty. In the foreground, fruity sweetness, raisins, citrus fruits, minerality. The second tier is spicy spices, pepper, motor oil, fumigated wood. Aftertaste - longer than average, sweet - salty. Peat, minerality, citrus peel, pepper, wet wood. Conclusion: A peat monster within the distillery. Delicious, comfortable, would be perfect for the role of the basic release of the regular line.

| Нос | 82 | Initially fruity, overripe citrus notes, especially orange, followed by typical Talisker aromas such as salt, phenol, carbolic soap, pepper and peat smoke. Rather light and unimpressive for a Talisker. |
| Вкус | 85 | Talisker-typical explosive development with peat smoke, pungent salt, pepper and salt lemons. Very dry and pleasant. |
| Финиш | 83 | Short, Schafer, phenolic peat smoke. |
If it was a Glengoyne, would you score it 75 points anyway?
A Talisker for whose existence I think no reason. The 10 year old is definitely better. Although this is not a bad single malt.
The first Talisker that I really did not like very much, because of the soapy palate.

| Нос | 84 | Berries, floral scents, campfire, sea breeze |
| Вкус | 87 | The notes are milky, with a floral scent somewhat like violets, and the latter half has hints of seawater and oranges from a brine can. |
| Финиш | 84 | Medium length, seawater, a hint of soy sauce flavor, fairly simple. |
Honestly, very similar to Talisker 10 - hard to pinpoint differences in flavor but balance is better. Special treat

| Нос | 90 | Briny seaweed, maritime smoke, waxy honey flowers, light buttery caramel. After first sip - very creamy |
| Вкус | 90 | Herby peat, maritime smoke, caramel, black pepper, honey, cream, sour and sweet citrus fruits. Great balance |
| Финиш | 88 | Long, sweet, citrus, honey, cigar ash |
The combination of smoke, salt and melon, as well as yellow apples. Calm and harmonious whisky.

Unconventional whisky, I like bitter whiskys, but it's strong, plus the sharpness of the alcohol. Talisker sometimes takes some getting used to. I don't really get warm with this bottling, it's a weak Talisker, the normal 10 can do a lot more.
Place: @home
Delicious tasty talisker, to which I would prefer the standard 10y but with a view to the price. In comparison, this is a little sweeter and milder in the finish, the 10y has even more peppery spice in the finish, which I like better.

I guess its okay ? The talisker isn't really a prominent thing in general. Some peper some maritime some orange. Okay ? 90s quality, thats at least something. If compared to todays inflated prices of course it would be around 88 , but it is more accurate to rate it against other 90s whiskies. And there it is among weakest. I guess its okay ? x2
Often with (finished) Taliser for me, they seem to show more facettes & depths when tried after other malts, on a fresh palette they always seem a bit flat/closed.

Sweet sherry notes, some vanilla, hint of pepper and liquid honey, complex nose, less complex taste, sweet and sour, relatively short finish.
Although there is a hint of sherry, Talisker's smokiness is disturbing.

Sherry, a hint of peaty smoke and very fruity. Almost like a salty, smoky Cocnac, pleasantly sweet with tart notes. But for 12 years really great, isn`t it?
