Following the massive popularity and high value-for-money of the first 2018 edition, which later became a highly sought-after collector's item with prices soaring, the 2020 edition of the Talisker 8YO was released and received a stellar 90-point rating on Whiskyfun.
P.S. While the 2018 edition was matured in American Oak hogsheads, the 2020 edition features a Caribbean Rum cask finish.
Tasting note from Master of Malt for reference
Nose:
First impressions are led by a sweet seaside vibe: seaweed, iodine, crystallised citrus fruit and charred meat. After a while, molasses and stewed tropical fruits come through, along with a wisp of smoke.
Palate:
Silky smooth and mouthfilling, with prickles of that characteristic Talisker pepperiness. The fruit becomes more caramelised, and the smoke becomes more bonfire-like, but the nose and palate are beautifully aligned.
Finish:
Long and warming, with the pepper turning more chilli-like, wrapped up in gentle smoke.
Overall:
An unusual Talisker with the rum cask influence, and absolutely one to add to the must-try list.
