Суммаризация отзывов

Дымный, довольно простой и лёгкий для питья NAS-виски с заметной сладостью, дымом и перцем; часто сравнивают с Lagavulin 16 и нередко предпочитают ему более дешёвый Talisker 10.

развернуть подробно

В отзывах Talisker Dark Storm описывается прежде всего как интенсивно дымный виски: упоминаются холодный пепел, костёр, смолистый дым, копчёный бекон и копчёная рыба, йод и морская соль. Нос часто характеризуют как мощный, солёный и пряный — с чёрным перцем, морепродуктами, кофе, тёмными фруктами, ванилью и карамелью; встречаются также ноты кожи, табака и шоколада, что связывают с влиянием шерри и сильно обожжённых бочек. Вкус описывают как сладковатый и пряный, с дымом, пеплом, карамелью, цитрусом и перцем, при этом несколько отзывов указывают на разбавленность, водянистость и «тонкость» тела, а также на то, что развитие вкуса слабеет со временем. Финиш в большинстве отзывов оценивают как средний по длине, иногда короткий, с дымом, пеплом, солью, лакрицей и специями. Заметная часть текстов подчёркивает, что виски не слишком сложный: его называют лёгким для повседневного употребления, «без лишнего шума», но не «взрывом вкуса». Некоторые прямо заявляют, что он не дотягивает до Talisker 10, а также сравнивают его с Lagavulin 16, отмечая сходство, но меньшую интенсивность. Отдельные отзывы сетуют на молодость, резкость, избыток обожжённой бочки и дисбаланс, тогда как другие считают его более удачным, чем Talisker Storm, и хвалят соотношение цены и качества для своего времени. Есть также замечания, что он слаще и менее пряно-перечный, чем другие Talisker, и что он может подойти тем, кого отпугивает классическая острота и дымность бренда.

An intensely smoky whisky, which shows strong wood aromas and fruit at the beginning; those disappear, however, after some time, the whisky becomes quite watery. One can guess some sherry barrels involved. In my opinion, the character is more like a Lagavulin 16 than a Talisker, although the character is not quite as intense.

нос · вкус · финиш

Нос	82	Pure: Intense smoke (cold ash), dark fruit (plum), slightly medicinal (gauze bandages), herbs, white pepper, some alcohol, which disappears gradually; sweet and fleshy aromas. Good aeration helps the aromas to become clearer. With water: the whisky weakens even with little water, the aromas simply become thinner.
Вкус	83	Oakbarrel, cold ash, dark fruit and herbs (rosemary, thyme); mouthcoating dryness. Warming. Really intense at first, then somehow it loses it in the development
Финиш	84	Relatively long-lasting; becomes sweeter over time, woody, the ash remains.

A relaxed all day dram without a lot of Tam Tam, which does not need much thought. Just into the glass and enjoy.

Salty charred meat, assertive cinnamon red hots, BBQ potato chips, honeysuckle, burnt matches, bitter citrus peel.

PeterCr Expert Junior 82 01 mar 2017 7:34 pm

Not bad, but also not really complex and not that outspoken. Has quite some similarities with the Benromach Wood Finishes for me. Score = 81-83 / 100

Dre73 Connoisseur 83 24 mar 2017 8:24 am

The smell looks like a heavier whisky, but in the final taste that is not so bad (or disappointing). Nice whisky, sipping easily and quite a bit of flavor, but certainly does not crush.

An atypical talisker. I would probably not have recognized him blindly. It's drinkable, no question about it, but unfortunately also no flavor bomb

GlasMost Expert Senior 84 13 dec 2021 7:36 pm

Easy drinking, tasty and pretty smoky NAS Talisker, not overly complex, but absolutely fine for a cold day. Nicely priced when it came out years ago in comparison to todays tags for young malts. I was not overwhelmed back then but consider it a decent dram nowadays. THe 45,8% are just fine and I am quite happy the abv is not any lower. Better than the Storm and the Skye in my opinion, but far away from the 10 and 57° North in flavour and quality . Neist Point used to be twice to tree times as much.

Stanzeflasche Connoisseur 84 22 feb 2022 12:28 am

First, a little charcoal, some pepper. These barrels must have been well burned. Then, iodine. We smell black fruits, berries, blueberries. Vanishing smoke, topped with vanilla. It's a bit austere. The distillery markers are vague, but still there. Heather, salt. After a while, quince jelly, which makes everything a little more enjoyable. The palate is better, with lemon, light vanilla, very ripe white plums. Then the spices rise. It's solid, we recognize the distillery, with a little relief. In the finish, we come back to the quince, it's a little earthy too, sunny. Slight bittersweet aftertaste. Sweet and sour sauce. White currants. I was a little disappointed by the nose, which is light. The rest is more interesting, but this shy nose is prohibitive for me. https://ilikesky2020.blogspot.com/2022/02/talisker-dark-storm.html

https://www.malts.com/en-ca/our-whisky-collection/talisker/talisker-dark-storm/ Possibly and a little less characteristic of Talisker, which is, of course, a nice surprise in the NAS edition of this distillery. Good for me and the price is not as hot as one would expect.

Nose: Smoke, Honey, black Pepper, Grapes, Caramel, Chocolate, Salt, spices Taste: Honey, Caramel, Ash, Tobacco, Chocolate, Licorice,Ginger. Much less Black Pepper than other Talisker Malts. Finish: long and surprisingly smooth for a Talisker Overall: A worthy addition to the Talisker Range. Noticeably sweeter and less smokey than the rest of Talisker's Range. People who couldn't get into Talisker because of it's spiciness and smokiness might want to try this Version. Price Point is absolutely o.k.

The aftertaste is on the verge of new-make in terms of level, but it is already out of childhood - a lad. In general, I will remember him as a rude Talisker, which I did not like. Of all the NAS-s, I liked it the least, although it is brighter than the usual Storm. 20 21 20 20

Saftkenner Connoisseur 82 18 may 2023 12:57 pm

Compared to its ten-year-old sister bottle, the Dark Storm seems a lot less rounded to me, it can't quite hide its youth or hide it behind the smoke. Strongly charred barrels don't help either. Since the ten-year-old is so cheap to get, I would always prefer it and refrain from buying it here. Overall, though, a nice easy-drinking dram.

I missed the peppery taste of the 10. there was some salt, some spices even some smoke but all in all nothing special - compared to the Talisker 10. finish was too short, typical duty free NAS.

[September, 2013] I had this dram during a Charlie Smith tasting at Bonn.In my old rating system (ten scales that translate into WB points: 50 - 66 - 75 - 80 - 82,5 - 85 - 87,5 - 90 - 92,5 - 95) I scored it 85. I took no detailed notes.

ApricotOne Expert Senior 83 02 sep 2017 8:58 am

Sherry influence is clearly visible from the nose to the finish. However, the intensity of the color does not match what you have in the glass. An appeal of leather, chocolate, tobacco, dark fruits, etc. what is known from the Dark Sherry bottlings ago is available, though not so intense. The Talisker own Chilli Chatch is well noticeable in this malt and has the property to cover the metallic youth. I could not recognize her. A good all day dram, which does not require to be analyzed for hours and sometimes, together with a porter, can be watched in front of the TV when it gets a bit more autumnal outside. An attractive price - performance ratio, considering that it is a liter bottle, which is filled with 45.8 ABV.

I think that's not wrong now; a little sherry is good for the Talisker; However, the bottom line is a little too young and too shallow.

Young, rough, unbalanced. Too much burnt cask. It is a Talisker so it is perfectly drinkable... but just a decent dram. That's all. The 10 yo is so much better!

The aging in the heavily charred oak barrels leaves plenty of room for the great basic character of the ''Talisker'' brandy to develop. The spiciness is transformed into a dangerously drinkable mixture by many sweet components and vanilla. It is probably not a dark storm, but a powerful, spicy and very beautiful single malt that strictly maintains its direction.

RichardPsmith Expert Senior 83 29 feb 2024 8:18 pm

The aroma is powerful, with a burning sensation, ground coffee, sharply salty, iodine, peppery. Dried citrus peels. Behind the light smoke, notes of sweetness emerge. Taste - herbs, notes of bitterness, roots (licorice root), black coffee, earth, very peppery. Spices, herbs, oyster shell. Smoke, coals, a little fruitiness. The finish has a lingering sense of earthy aromas and Starbucks coffee.

Peatyjohn Expert Senior 86 24 oct 2025 5:57 pm

Typical Talisker notes, vanilla, herbal, sweet, honey, sea spray, smoother than most Taliskers I’ve tasted. This is really nice, sweet and spicy, toasted oak. Really decent, top of my pick compared to 10, storm and Skye. Pleasant all rounded dram.

The Talisker Dark Storm matures in heavily charred oak barrels. This approach gives the fine drop an extremely intense intensity and gives it a lot of power. This makes the Dark Storm one of the smokiest bottlings from the Talisker Distillery.

To answer your question directly, yes the Talisker 10 is better. The Dark Storm is a tasty whisky though, the development is just lacking. It does its thing but although being a travel retail exclusive, doesn't take you on a journey.

decent Talisker, but not fully convinced. On the one hand, you realize that the maturation time is missing, on the other hand, the chili-catch is not so intense. So one wonders a little about the reason of existence of this bottling. 83/100
