Talisker’s The Distillers Edition finished in Amoroso casks from the Isle of Skye is another great entry-level peated scotch (relax peatheads, we will get to some heavier peated scotch as we go). People new to the peat category tend to think that peated scotch is all the same, however, even within the land of peatiness there are a number of different flavors such as medicinal, mossy, smoky, sulphuric, briny, etc. Talisker falls within the briny peat category and this particular release has the benefit of being finished in Amoroso sherry casks, adding another dimension to the picture.
