Суммаризация отзывов
Отзывы описывают Talisker 2001 (Distillers Edition) как хорошо сбалансированный виски с заметным влиянием шерри, морскими и дымными нотами, часто сравнивая его с базовым 10-летним и другими годами выпуска DE.
развернуть подробно
В текстовых отзывах этот виски чаще всего описывают как классический Talisker с добавленной шерри-составляющей: море, соль, дым/торф, йод, водоросли и перец сочетаются с шерри-нотами — тёмными фруктами (сливы, изюм, ягоды, вишня), шоколадом, карамелью, мёдом и кожаными оттенками. Несколько отзывов отмечают хорошую сбалансированность и комплексность, маслянистую/кремовую текстуру, а также перечную и пряную остроту (в том числе «chili catch»), иногда с нюансами лакрицы, ванили и дуба. Финиш в разных отзывах описывают как средний или средне-длинный, тёплый, с перцем, дымом, шоколадом/какао и иногда лёгкой горечью или танинностью.
Часть отзывов прямо сравнивает этот выпуск с другими: с Talisker 10 (как «апгрейд» или более комплексный и сбалансированный вариант), с более поздними выпусками Distillers Edition (например, 2021 — описывается как менее ароматный, более солёный/торфяной и «тоньше» во рту, с более коротким финишем), а также с выпусками 1998, 2002 и 2005 годов. При этом есть и сдержанные оценки: некоторые считают виски «слишком плоским», «обыденным», с недостатком силы/концентрации или ожидали большего. Также встречаются замечания, что при слишком долгом хранении «вино разваливается», и что вода мало что добавляет (чуть больше цитруса и меньше дыма).

Damn good Sherry Finish that really opens up with Oxygen. Not sure if the recent change to NAS "Distillers Editions" by Diageo can keep the same Quality.

On the nose, it's a "fruity Talisker". Honey and sherry are very noticeable. The smoke is not too invasive and goes well with the aforementioned flavors. In the mouth, full, frank, creamy, spicy, we find the duo smoke / sherry. Fairly sweet finish on the ashes, a little malt, dry and peppery (the signature Talisker!). No fault, only qualities, except that I felt exactly what I expected. It's supposed to be a good thing, you tell me, especially if you buy a bottle - it's not my case here, but what do you want, after 587 whiskys tasted, I like to be a little jostled, surprised. (Would I become difficult?) Enthusiasm 3/5

I tasted this head-to-head with the edition bottled in 2021. And I can tell you: they are completely different whiskies. My preference was for this edition, but others in the room thought the 2021 edition was better. The differences at a glance: This edition: A firm sweet nose with butter babblers (werther's original). In the taste a considerable sherry influence, and a musty (but tasty) edge. Full mouthfeel and a great finish. The 2021 edition: Much less aromatic nose (it loses it there). In the taste more salty, peated, salmiak, cleaner (it wins there, depending on your preferences). Less sherry influence. A bit 'thinner' in the mouth. And the finish is also shorter and less intense (there it loses it again).

A classic Talisker with added sherry value, it's good and very complex, though maybe a bit tricky

To be honest, I expected more. A well-made malt, but unfortunately the kick, that special something, does not materialize.

Mild start. Slightly creamy, a little spicy. According to the nose you would have expected more here (at least for the start). Comes slowly with a little pepper and nutmeg, dark chocolate and malt. But remain a little cautious. |

Just medium length. Light pepper, dark chocolate, malt. |
An upgrade over the standard 10 yo, with sherry-sweet notes. Everyone has to decide for themselves whether this is worth 20 to 25 euros more.

Dark chocolate, oak, peat smoke and the pepper and chili catch. Medium to long. |
A good whisky!! This Talisker Distillers Edition (bottled 2012) has matured 1 year longer than the current Distillers Editions (bottled > 2015), which is also reflected in the taste. This whisky is the first whisky with new blue packaging.

I lined up the Distillers Editions from 1998 to 2001, and then this one stands out as the peatiest whereas the 1998 version had a lot more sherry fruit. The quality remains pretty consistent though.
The harmony is not quite as outstanding here as in the 1998s. The smoke is still very well integrated, but the fact that it goes more towards a cold campfire, it stands out a little more intense. That gives him a plus in my nose compared to the 1998, but he loses the balance again. Overall not better or worse than the 1998er. Just a little different, really just nuances. Absolutely comparable and both just absolute top products.
Aroma / Nose feeling: Yes, of course - the sea and the gentle smoke that blows over the salty campfire with the salty wind. Wet sand, flattering sweetness and fragrant influence of the sherry barrel. Chocolate alternates with slightly fruity acidity of the lemon. Very harmonious! Taste / mouthfeel: Not too, but creamy and sweet in the mouth. Here, the vanilla comes to light and joins the chocolate with sea salt and the smoked ham - always alternating with the fruity notes. The smoke presents itself in perfectly balanced strength. The light tickling on the tongue is fun. The malt never gets bitter and has a balanced spiciness. Finish / aftertaste / Length: Warming and dangerously savory, the scotch from the Isle of Skye runs down the throat. Only a little wood comes to light. The malt remains (medium) long and can be wonderfully to taste. Overall impression / comment: The DE of Talisker are hardly better to realize than like this 2001er. For this% ABV and the price range almost outrageously good. The single malt leaves a stimulating and invigorating impression. Incl. Guaranteed salivation ???? Points: 90/100
Good sherry Tally, young, but very pleasant, well-balanced, with the distillery style traditionally growing in development - ash, sea notes, leather, lemon;
Wow. See - Fruit - Smoke and everything in abundance. Varied and still a round thing. And minutes later there is still a pinch of sea and smoke in my mouth.
Lovely dram with a nice sherry influence that combines perfectly with the distillery character. It gives an umami whisky, with fruit and earthy elements. These are not the only notes you can discover, there is more. Lovely.
Followed by September 2015
Nice mixture of slight smoke and fruity notes, smooth without being too weak.

Now this one is even more familiar to me, who started whisky tasting with 2019 bottling of Talisker 10. Bright citrusy jelly, light touch of seaweed, guava, clear but humble smoke from burning papers, dried plum for the firm and dark sweetness. Aeration released hawthorn. After a sip there was some washing powders, along with louder malty sweetness. |

Med bodied. Quite peppery on the arrival, soon unchaining chaotic array of smoke, salts, hawthorn, but lacks power and concentration. Second sip found some stone fruit, citrus juice, rather bright and easy going. More concentrating taste from the second sip. |

Round, a bit peppery at first, along with medicinal bitterness, and mild wood smoke. No complexity, but easy going with decent length. |

very nice whisky. the classic tallisker flavours are still there, but the sherry cask adds some interesting tones without being too sweet. Water doesn't bring very much, a bit more citrus and less smoke

The nooks and crannies that make the 10s unique are softened by the sherry ripening, but the Distillers Edition is more complex and balanced
Tasty peated whisky. A lot of pepper and spices. Stimulates nicely on the tongue and with the aftertaste.

very nice both for enjoying and for the cool drink in between both refreshing, warming and fiery The 2012er I like the end, a bit better than the 2006er The 2012er is here a little more refreshing and a little more exciting and versatile
everything is very well coordinated intense and strong the spices and the sea dominate but the delicate fruit and extra sweetness enhance this Talisker significantly A really great whisky
A well balanced Talisker DE. I found it better balanced than the 2002 and 2005 editions that are sweeter and a bit more one dimensional. But fair enough, overall they’re quite close. This 2001 version has it all and I like it! Maritime aromas mixed with earthy peat and smoke, counterbalanced by oranges, berries and toffee sweetness. But also spices like chili, peper, liquorice and a dash of eucalyptus. A steal for its original price of €49,95.

This is one of the best affordable whiskies I had to date, although I cannot say I've tasted more than 30-35... amazing stuff from Talisker, I used to love the 10 year old, but I compared them the other night and this Distillers Edition is just on a whole other level
