Talisker Parley Wilder Seas 700ml
Only
$132.00
Commercial description
"APPEARANCE
A glorious, shining deep amber with reddish lights. The rich colour of rosewood or a freshly opened horse chestnut.
BODY
Medium to full.
NOSE
Mild and dry in feel, yet rich overall. Tight-packed top notes of fruit and malt suggest malt bread with sultanas, dates and dried figs. Beneath them, a light mineral hint of chalk leads into rousing maritime notes of brine, salt crystals and ship?s rails in a high sea, all on a lightly fruity, winey base, with a hint of pipe tobacco. Adding a little water brings up a smoky note.
PALATE
The creamy-smooth mouthfeel introduces a big taste that starts richly sweet then quickly becomes salty, smoky and fruity, with lush, sweet hints of sultana and fig mid-palate wrapped in rising peppery spice and smokiness. Rich and intense at natural strength, it becomes slightly sweeter, fruitier (suggesting ripe figs again) and spicier if water is added.
FINISH
Long, warming and lightly drying, with a familiar late peppery catch and a most appealing smoky-fruity aftertaste."
Alc 48.6%
