Talisker 30 Year CS 2007:

[@jonadad]

Nice review guys. Agreed. You should get and review the Talisker 35 1977 from 2012. That one is my favorite of these older Talisker cask strength releases.

[@djbeacon6895]

WOW!! A VERY Special bottle for Christmas. CHEERS guys and have a Great 2025!

[@topshelfwhisky]

Thanks for the Christmas cheer. Hope you have a great New Year too!

[@topshelfdustin3060]

We always try and do something fun for the holidays.

[@Matt-fs9tg]

I have the same bottle open currently! It’s delicious. I do find the 2007 25 year just has a little more vibrancy that trumps the extra complexity of the 30. I’m a complete sucker for well aged cask strength Talisker.

Wow, 76 eh. I was a teen in high school listening to my Kiss, Rush, Nugent, Trower, Johnny Winter, Aerosmith records but not drinking Scotch just yet. Cheers & Merry Christmas

[@topshelfwhisky]

I still listen to some of those guys today! Merry Christmas

[@topshelfdustin3060]

I mean...it's not like we don't still all listen to those today! merry christmas

Cheers and Merry Christmas. Hope you're doing well.

[@zedman8720]

Happy New Year guys. Looking forward to your 2025 reviews! Cheers

[@Matt-fs9tg]

It’s the smashing orangey bit that nails it. By coincidence this was my Christmas day tipple this year too.

[@topshelfwhisky]

such a good whisky. Great anyday and worthy of the Christmas dram.

[@JAllenClark83]

What a treat this must've been. I've got a bottle of the 2004 25 CS, which is just fantastic; but it'll be another couple years until I burn out my wallet again on one of these old Taliskers. The secondary prices are insane right now, especially as CS Talisker (at least, mature CS Talisker) gets rarer and rarer. Cheers.

[@topshelfwhisky]

The 2004 Talisker 25 was my FAVORITE vintage of the cask strength 25. Just a perfect Talisker.

[@AlexDraut]

Cask "Strenth"? Lol cheers and Merry Christmas everyone!

[@topshelfdustin3060]

Cheers buddy, hope you have some beam Monday with your brother.

[@MarkHanson-du3qs]

Merry xmas gents, all the best in the new year!

[@topshelfwhisky]

[@topshelfdustin3060]

Merry Christmas to you too.

[@sowlegwhiskyreview5501]

[@topshelfwhisky]

Merry Christmas to you and yours from the other side of the pond

[@topshelfdustin3060]

Merry Christmas, hope these holidays are good for you.

[@hicksy771]

Ooft out comes the big hitter. Only had the 25 but gee it was so good. Great review. Happy new year to you both..

[@topshelfdustin3060]

merry Christmas buddy.

[@welshtoro3256]

Great stuff! Happy Christmas guys.

[@topshelfdustin3060]

merry christmas welsh!

[@teunvanderlinden1740]

Very inspiring, altough the whisky is above my leage pricewise (being for 4 years or so into whisky). Having said that, I do have had several older 20+ whiskies and, indeed, there is - like you two conclude with respect to the Talisker - so much of a difference between 46% and cask strength, especially if it comes to older whiskies. In general, I do not buy 20+ whiskies which are not high proof. Great review! Merry christmas from the Netherlands!

[@topshelfwhisky]

Merry Christmas and happy new year! I’ve been to Amsterdam a couple times, I love that City. Yeah, cast strength makes everything better.Talisker was one of my top five distilleries 15 years ago. Today they’re just a shell of their form of glory along with Highland Park & Lagavulin

[@JoukoL]

Merry Christmas!

[@topshelfwhisky]

Same to you!

[@topshelfdustin3060]

Merry Christmas

[@jazzman642]

Would you mind sharing what you paid?

[@topshelfwhisky]

I hope we get a really solid deal on this. Around 850 delivered if I recall.

[@jazzman642]

@ I’d say you got a fantastic deal

[@topshelfdustin3060]

@@jazzman642 don't ask Mike what he pays. He has people he buys from and has relationships with. it's not a "market" price :)
