[MM-MALTS-L] The Undrinkable Talisker...

[F X Christ]

My notes from Whisky Hill Dram Jam III say that the Cadenhead Talisker
abomination was an 18 yo sherrywood from 1979, bottled at 60.8%.

I have to agree that it smelled like nail polish remover and that drinking a
dram was the malt equivalent of waterboarding. (and uh...no, I've never been
waterboarded.)

Truly repulsive stuff! A must!

Regards,
FX

18 and 19yo, and the other were very nice.? I'll see if I can find the
reference months on the questionable bottling.? As Tom B. said, it was a
sherry-cask bottling, and so marked.
