Hard Drinkers, Lets Drink Hard (Spirits, Liquors and Cocktails)

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.

@seul how do you like the Talisker 10?

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

I really like Bulleit - I especially Enjoy their Rye

Bulleit is great for the price, I try to always have a bottle around. If you like Bulleit try Redemption high rye whiskey.
I recently went to Nashville and stopped by the Corsair Distillery. Picked up a single barrel bottle of their Oatrage oat whiskey. A very nice bottle, 126 proof I believe. They do a ton of experimenting and I don't like a majority of it but they hit a home run now and again.

I agree Bulleit is a great value. There's tons of really great bourbon out there not named "Pappy" that's less than $50 a bottle. My local liquor bought their own barrel of Eagle Rare 10yr bourbon and is selling it for $34.99 a bottle can't beat that. If you come across any of the Smooth Ambler Old Scout bourbons or ryes they're fantastic.
