Unlike the storm which appeared to labour under some different American oak, this is just brimming with vitality and purpose.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e- Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2016\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e...Dark Storm is exclusive to Travel Retail outlets, and maturation has taken place in deeply charred casks. Rich, fruity spices on the nose, quite citric, with brine and aromatic smoke. The smoke elbows its way to the fore in time. Full, sweet, fruity flavors on the palate, some vanilla, then smoke, licorice, and spice hit home. A classic Talisker smoke and chili finish, but cranked up a notch or two!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e89 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e- whiskyadvocate.com, reviewed by: Gavin Smith (Winter 2013)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e...Liked this baby when it first came out, although the 10 always reigned supreme in my book. Colour: gold. Nose: it does nose young, but not immature. It’s big Talisker, rather emphatic and even slightly ‘in your face’, with nice notes of fermenting leaves and fruits, dried kelp (more dried kelp than on an inaccessible beach), a very grassy\/leafy smokiness, and not that many pencil shavings, while earliest version had more of that. Notes of bitter marmalade. Mouth: seriously, this is super good, if a tad cloying. They seem to have pushed the ashes and the drying parts, and lowered the fruits. Tends to become a little bitter, on Fernet Branca, various artichoke liqueurs, ginger, heavy cinnamon… The wood sure has a lot to say here. Finish: long, drying, very smoky and extremely spicy. Some oak in the aftertaste. Comments: a comedian that goes a little overboard, but it’s still one of my favourite young Taliskers. Like ‘Storm’ better, though – and of course the 10.\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e83 points\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e- whiskyfun.com\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Talisker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50468403904829,"sku":null,"price":182.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0812\/1276\/8573\/files\/250_59.png?v=1751780714","url":"https:\/\/www.porterslux.com.au\/zh\/products\/talisker-dark-storm-single-malt-scotch-whisky-1l","provider":"Porters Lux","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
