the talisman

Ein wenig Recherche über meinen selbst importieren Fusel aus Schottland. Zunächst: Das Etikett.

THE TALISMAN Finest Blended SCOTCH WHISKY Blended and bottled in Scotland 70cle 40%vol
'Scotch' bedeutet, dass der Whisky mindestens drei Jahre in Schottland in Eichenfässern gereift ist. Ein gutes Gefühl? Ja. Die Cairngorms Chamber of Commerce führt eine gewisse Distellerie als Attraktion der Gegend:
Tomatin Distillery Co. Ltd.

Tomatin Inverness-shire IV13 7YT

Many distinctive whiskies are brought together to create The Talisman, personally selected for their individual styles and collective qualities, with a high percentage of fine single malt to grain whiskies – a truly exceptional blend.

The Talisman is a whisky of good fortune and great character.

Nose A complex bouquet of fruits and maltiness provides ample evidence of the serious skills of the blender.

Taste This superior blend delights the palate with lots of distinctive honey and vanilla flavours combined with hints of apple.

The well rounded aftertaste slowly reveals a medley of subtle, peaty tones which linger long on the palate.

Na dann: Slainte!
