A Dram A Day--Part IV

In anticipation of Friday's spectacular Scotch tasting event at Keegan's Pub in Minneapolis (7pm), I thought I'd whet your appetite with a daily preview of one of the fine selections of whisky that we'll be enjoying.

Today, we encounter the formidable Talisker:

Region: Highlands
Island: Skye

Color - Bright amber red.
Nose - Pungent, smoky-accented, rounded.
Body - Full, slightly syrupy.
Palate - Smoky, malty-sweet, with sourness and very big pepperiness developing.
Finish - Very peppery, huge, long.
Score - 90


Talisker; indulge only if ye be men of valour.
