      What's the best Talisker in your opinion?.. Kinda wanna have a decent bottle here…

      Personally I like the friends edition and the 57 North, but you can't go wrong with the 10yr, still a great whisky.

          I haven't tried the Distillers edition, so I couldn't say for sure, but personally I'm not a fan of fancy cask finishes.

          I have tried Dark Storm and its not as good as the standard 10yr old.

            The Dark Storm is indeed inferior to the Standard 10 YO, although it's a good Whisky. It's probably the most peaty Talisker of the ones I tried, but in that field there's also good Islay whiskies and it lacks some cask influences that the 10 YO has to offer.

            Like I wrote regarding the Distillers Edition, it depends on wether you like Sherry influenced Whisky or not. I think that the peaty -spicy note of Talisker and the sweetness of the Sherry create a super complex Whisky that has a lot different aspects to explore. Same goes for the Port Ruighe, but this one lacks a bit age and maturation.

            So, I'd recommend either the Distiller's Edition for a Sherry influenced Talisker or the Standard 10 YO for a less complex but well aged Whisky.

                                    I've had a smoky "Whisky beer" from England some years ago, but it was not to my liking.

                                            A nice milk or chocolate stout with a scoop of vanilla ice cream is the best. Never thought of adding bourbon. Sounds delicious.
