Talisker Distillers Edition

Rugged yet gentle

What a fantastic dram. It's complexity is intriguing, it makes you wonder. You will find yourself asking questions and navigating through a maze of senses. You feel tired now, but suddenly, you arrive at your destination. A smokey, warm and rugged stone cabin near the sea. A cabin with leather sofas and a wooden (amoroso) table. Your eyes finds a homemade banana pie, you notice the burnt sugar on top. There is a jar of fresh harvested dark honey. A bowl of roasted pears next to a tiny plate with walnuts and roasted orange peels. There is also leftovers from a raspberry jam (who could have left that there you wonder). You keep looking at the table and you see a touch of pepper, maybe it was left there the night before.
After you get cozy and confortable, you open the window and yes, there it is, the sea breeze; a touch of salt to balance the sweetness that you've just enjoyed near the fireplace. You move to the sofa and while your eating the last piece of licorice, you realize that your stomach is full, your body is warm and suddenly the world make sense again. You grab the blanket, put the shoes near the fireplace and you lay down. Good night.
