A rainy Saturday in Portland, and Day 7. We have Talisker Select Reserve Single Malt Scotch, aka Game of Thrones House of Greyjoy, coming in at 45.8% ABV. I picked up 3 of the GoT Scotch Whiskies - this is the first one. There is no age statement on this one, but it was priced similar to the Talisker 10 Year. Not 100% sure what to expect out of the GoT releases, we shall see.
The aroma has a lot going on, some salty, citrus, musty, with some pepper and burn as well. Flavor is good and complex, if I knew more about Scotch I could probably describe it better, it's briny, doesn't seem peaty or smokey - peppery as well. A dash of water doesn't seem to change things. It's quite interesting, and will need to give it a second chance to see if I can pick up anything more flavor wise. Rated 3.75/5.0
