About
A distillery-bottled cask strength Talisker, 57° North is deceptively smooth for a whisky at this strength, but still a muscular presence on the palate, with the pepper and chilli Talisker hallmarks very much in evidence. Picked up the top prize in its category (Best Island No Age) at the World Whisky Awards 2012.

Tasting Notes
Brilliant brassy gold. Opening sniffs detect a sweet, salty, maritime-style top note over granita biscuit, vanilla, chocolate, manuka honey and refreshing peppermint. After 3-4 minutes of air contact a dense blanket of sooty peat swamps the bouquet, followed by drier notes of white-pepper, kipper and dustings of cocoa. Immediately rich and warming in the mouth; entry features cream tea biscuits, then comes a flood of oily, peppery peat that fans out like a peacocks tail. Finish is vibrant, fresh, cough-lozenge like, tailing off with Fisherman's Friend, brine, lingering sweet malt and late lanolin in the aftertaste. Bracing yet beautifully balanced. Showcases Talisker's trademark salt'n'pepper profile to stupendous effect.

Making a cup of tea for someone is a more complicated process than you first think
Which way are we leaning: Rooibos or regular? Milk: yes or no? The standard sugar inquiry, a two-part question if the first answer is yes.
And if you have your black belt in tea-making, one final question concerning the tea bag: in or out?
How are you supposed to remember that all if you're making tea for, oh say, 3 people?
It doesn't concern today's deals at all, but we had to think about something while we waited for the kettle to boil.
