Free Scotch review as a Christmas present for Lizards:
Talisker Storm NAS (Skye)
Basically a light-peaty version of the standard Talisker 10.
Negatives: marketing, mainly: “NAS” is said to stand for “No Age Statement” - it says “Single Malt” on the label, so I’m guessing the “NAS” dodge means it’s a blend of (one hopes) Talisker malts of varying ages. And, presumably, peat flavors. Also, the descriptions
in its PR tend towards the vague (even by Scotch-marketing standards): so it’s hard to tell (by description) just what you’re getting. It is cheaper than Talisker 18, though, so there’s that…
Positives: what you get is a very decent light-smoke Scotch: The peat flavor rides on top of the whiskey for a change, and lingers just a bit as it goes down: there’s a very light touch of varnish on the finish, and not much after-peat: which is a positive to me, anyway.
Bottom line: worth a try. If you have $60 or so to spare, that is…
Cheers!
