Still fairly new to whisky but have drunk a fair few bottles with a little from the wife. Big fan of the peats Ardbeg,Laphroaig just had my first dram of Talisker 10 year old and loved it my favourite so far.

If you enjoy the Talisker then I can strongly recommend the 57° North. If your prepared for some cask strength action then it's a superb Talisker. To me it's basically Talisker's CV in a bottle. All the best bits and then amplified.

The 10 yo is a classic, of course. More austere and demanding than Laphroaig. Less peat, more spice (pepper).

Good to hear! Have you tried Arbeg Uigeadail? Very lovely cask strength Ardbeg. Don't neglect non-peated whisky too though! Enjoy.

Talisker 10 is my favourite one. Not tried any others though Razz

It is one of the best Scotch that I've tried so far though and I'm building up a good little repertoire to compare. I would buy another one tomorrow but I'm trying not to buy the same one twice until I run out of local availability and reach my budget limit Smile

I've tried the 10, the storm, and the Skye and love them all, all got great nose and love the taste, someone told me I'd find the storm completely different but I didn't to be honest, next step should be the 57 hehehe

Talisker 10 IMHO, is quite simply, the perfect Islay. I love all of the heavily peated Islays but this one is just the right stuff! Less peat than Ardbeg 10 or Laphroaig 10 (both of which I love), but Talisker is perfect at anytime.
Ashamed to say I haven't tried the Storm, but need to.

I just caught my oversight in calling Talisker an Islay. Most will catch me on this.
Seems I have been drinking it along with the Islays I like and have now called it one.
It is similar, so I made the mistake. Point being, if you like the Islay style, you will love Talisker.
