Christmas is coming!! Do you have your gifts and bottles ready?!
Talisker Storm is an expression from the Talisker Distillery that is a well-known classic Scotch from the Isle of Skye in Scotland. Talisker Distillery was found in 1830 and is located in Carbost, Isle of Skye. Being so close the ocean it states it is “Made by the Sea” and is a fun play on words. I get the sea taste in the scotch but I also get it from Old Putney which is located even more North in Wick, Scotland.
Other expressions include; 10, 18, 25, 30-year-old, Skye, Distiller Edition, 75 North, Port Ruighe, and Neist Pint. I have the post the Talisker Skye posted in previous reviews.
I received a 3-pack sampler when I was in Scotland from a family member and I enjoyed each of them while I was spending a few days in a hotel in Edinburgh. Talisker Storm is a softer version of Talisker and is still good and a little cheaper.
The Storm tastes like cheaper version of the 10 year Old even though it is priced a bit higher. I am not sure what is going on with that but I will assume it is a combo of distillation and marketing. Probably more marketing.
Price around $75 and good but I prefer the 10 Year Old
If you like it, drink it! – Christopher
