Суммаризация отзывов
Отзывы о Talisker Skye расходятся: часть считает его хорошим введением в стиль Talisker и выгодным по цене, другие — слишком простым и уступающим Talisker 10.
развернуть подробно
В текстовых отзывах часто повторяются дымные, морские, солёные и перечные ноты. Один из отзывов описывает его как «introductory level Talisker; still very drinkable smoky, maritime, spicy scotch». Ещё один отзыв также называет его «a good introduction to the Talisker portfolio», отмечая сладость, дым костра, ваниль, карамель, ирис и прибрежный характер, но жалуется на «excessive pepperiness and raw edges» из-за отсутствия возрастной маркировки. Другой отзыв считает его подходящим для новичков и более опытных любителей дыма, с дымом, сладостью, морскими нотами, перцем, специями, гвоздикой и карамелью. Один из отзывов пишет, что он «not quite a Talisker 10», но «reflects the Talisker character in a softer way» и «easy-drinking, pleasant whisky». Ещё один отзыв называет его легче 10-летнего и «perfect for the hot summer», с солёными цитрусовыми, дымом, глиной, карамелью и перечным финишем.
При этом есть и заметная критика. Другой отзыв называет его «worst Talisker of my life. Barely drinkable». Один из отзывов считает его «Quite good for mixing, but I prefer the 10». Ещё один отзыв прямо пишет: «10>skye obviously». Другой отзыв говорит, что он мягче на носу, чем T10, но «loses that certain something» и «Stands between all stools for me». Один из отзывов описывает его как «Like a poorly watered down version of a good talisker». Ещё один отзыв не любит его и не хочет тратить на него время. Другой отзыв хвалит искусственные банановые ноты и цену, но называет его «pretty simple and one-dimensional» и говорит, что «more gets boring». Один из отзывов — «Simplistic, but decent nonetheless». Ещё один отзыв — «commendable drinking experience... stopping short of being truly memorable». Другой отзыв также сравнивает с 10-летним в пользу последнего и называет Skye «Just a "daily dramik"».

Aroma: Sweet and smoky, with vanilla, caramel, toffee, notes of peaty bonfire smoke, and a clearly noticeable coastal character, a sea-breeze quality Taste: Again, a sweetness layered with bonfire smoke, vanilla, caramel, and toffee appear first, followed quickly by smoke and coastal notes, quite spicy and peppery, with a lingering finish that is smoky, coastal, and pepper-driven Overall Impression: A solid whisky and a good introduction to the Talisker portfolio, though the absence of an age statement is noticeable in its excessive pepperiness and raw edges

A whisky with a very pleasant aroma. However, the palate and finish are overly repetitive. The citrus notes alongside the salty ones add a pleasant freshness. Yet, it doesn’t offer a distinctly different, “wow” factor.

An immediate, punchy iodine aroma hits the nose; citrus notes are distinctly present alongside it. Vanilla, a surgical sharpness, wood, and oak, followed by marine nuances, round out the profile. A thoroughly enjoyable nose. |

It offers a sweeter welcome compared to the nose. On the first sip, vanilla, citrus, iodine, and black pepper come through very clearly. A taste reminiscent of slightly charred meat makes itself known at the back of the palate. However, it’s difficult to speak of a complex structure overall. |

A long and lingering finish. The sensations from the nose and palate continue exactly as they were; pepper, smoke, and sea salt accompany the finish all the way through. A consistent finish that progresses in tandem with the palate. |
Talisker Skye is the Isle of Skye's oldest distillery's ode to its contrasting landscape. Since 2015, the whisky has been produced directly on the rough sea and matured in American refill and toasted oak casks, with a slightly larger proportion of toasted casks. This gives the single malt the maritime-smoky note to get the feeling of spending a day on the coast of the Isle of Skye.
Much softer on the nose than the T10, but it also loses that certain something. Stands between all stools for me. Surprisingly sharp on the finish. 61-70 - Okay, but not more than 1 dram

It provides a commendable drinking experience with enough character to keep you interested, stopping short of being truly memorable.

The Talisker "Skye" was a gift from a good Scottish friend and at the same time my introduction to the world of smoky whiskys. And in my opinion it is ideally suited for this purpose, as it offers an extremely complex experience for relatively little money. Anyone expecting the usual mild easy sipper from the affordable price range is in for a surprise. Aroma: Although I'm still at the beginning of my whisky journey and sometimes have a hard time filtering out aromas, there is still a certain variety to be discovered here. Behind the initially intense smoke, even with little practice, you can smell a spicy, somewhat citrusy sweetness, combined with the typical maritime note of an island whisky and a hint of caramel. Taste: For a beginner, the Skye makes good progress in terms of taste. Especially at the beginning, peppery spiciness and ashy smoke predominate, both of which give way to a sweetness that becomes more and more pleasant the longer you hold the sip in your mouth. Here I also think I taste clove or caramel again. Finish: Long to medium long, dry. In my opinion the weakest part of "Skye". Oak (bourbon barrel?) and malt stand out clearly. The 45.8 percent get a lot of attention. Conclusion: In terms of price-performance ratio, a single malt that I can recommend to beginners as well as more experienced smoke lovers. Unexpectedly balanced, round and harmonious. Unfortunately colored, which is particularly noticeable given the very artificial coloring here. Nevertheless - a good first step into Talisker's core range.

Honestly, a bottle I was gifted, but do not drink. I really don't like it and don't think I should spend time on it. There are so many other fantastic whisky to taste.
It has a very nice and smooth taste, excellent!
A very good sample of whisky, maybe I got a good batch from good barrels, I definitely do not have 2021, maybe 2018. A complex, full-bodied and not at all aggressive whisky. Fruit abundance and good balance with smoke. However, it is quite simple and does not evolve. N:21 T:21 F:21 B:21
#0416 TALISKER SKYE SINGLE MALT SCOTCH Whisky 45.8%. ... considering the whole thing and comparing SKYE to 10, 10 wins hands down. The aromas are very inviting, the first impression during consumption is also good. Later on, unfortunately, it gets a bit worse. It's not bad, but it could always be better. It should not be forget that this is NAS - at least three years old. I've had worse. As they say in certain circles - it's cool. Well, because it is. I have to admit that it's not outstanding and I personally didn't expect that. ... Just a "daily dramik" - for those who like bittersweet smokes. It reminds me of the basic Rock Island by Douglas Laing, except it's a blended malt (and these are blended to taste... mostly!)

Overall, a good whisky has a very subtle youthful undertone, but it's not bothersome. The nose is a bit weak, the aromas aren't overpowering, and the palate is relatively better. While not quite a Talisker 10, it still reflects the Talisker character in a softer way. It's an easy-drinking, pleasant whisky.

On the nose, there's a slight scent of sea salt and seaweed, light mineral notes, iodine, salty black olives, a faint smell of burning wood smoke (not overpowering), a hint of lemon, unripe sour apples and plums, a subtle barrel aroma, and hints of decaying fruit. As the glass sits, a damp, musty wood and musty smell also emerges (the scents aren't clear or overpowering; it takes time to resolve them). |

It's a bit harsh at first on the palate. Flavors such as light vanilla and malt sweetness, a hint of caramel, intense black pepper, a touch of iodine, a hint of burning wood smoke, light ginger, a hint of lemon, salt, and minerals are noticeable. |

The finish begins with a light salted caramel, mineral, seawater, and hint of lemon. This is followed by warmth from black pepper and ginger. Finally, as the heat subsides, it closes with flavors of salt, iodine, minerals, and lemon, reaching a medium-length finish. |
I really love that artificial banana notes, but downside is that is pretty simple and one-dimensional. Dram is okay but more gets boring. However this is better then before rebranding (at least as I remember)... Talisker is really becoming the most interesting Diageo distillery for me, only if special releases could be more affordable. FROM ME GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY!
