Quick, let us forget that this is NAS while being twice more expensive than the 10, a set-up that I’ll never, ever understand… Sure this one must come with a story and a rationale, but I just won’t bother learning about them… Colour: gold. Nose: much less happening in this one. Caramel and smoke, a spoonful of sawdust, vanilla, croissants, cappuccino… The Taliskerness has been toned down – but why would anyone do that? The oak is soft and fine, though, it’s just that we’re not into this for that - did I make my point? Mouth: better, but it’s very close to the 10, with just a little more citrus and lemony oak spices, around basil or dill or yuzu and stuff. Finish: no, it’s long, but there’s too much cinnamon and sawdust for me. More pepper than in the 10, but not quite the fresh pepper we enjoy so much in some Taliskers. Comments: not bad of course, and even very good, but it’s been killed by the fresher 10 within this little line-up.
