My Review: Talisker 10YO whisky
$80 from Dan Murphys.
Nice box, looks like a classy drop.
I popped the cork, had a sniff. A disturbing aroma of disinfectant. Too late now, I've opened it.
I pour myself a measure, into a nice Orefors scotch glass. the smell of dettol fills the air. I begin to experience a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. As it turns out, that is merely a preliminary to the horrors that follow.
I take a small sip..... oh god, what the fuck is this shit?!?!? dettol, mixed with rough gravel, possibly with a hint of scotch in it, and a decent "fuck you" wallop of alcohol.
The aftertaste is sharp, unfolding to astringent and unpleasant ambience of hospital ward and burnt socks, with a bitter overlay of regret & wasted time and money.
Summary:
If you hate yourself, and you have money to burn, and don't really wish to self-harm by drinking toxic chemicals, but want to know what that experience would be like, then definitely buy this whisky.
Final Thoughts:
I will never shit on Johnny Black or Johnny Blue ever again.
I think fine whisky is dead to me, and the people who made this poison are cunts.
