Review of the
Talisker Select Reserve which has been
paired with House Greyjoy in The Game of
Thrones Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Collection.
 The
Talisker Select Reserve Game of Thrones
House Greyjoy is one of a limited
edition collection of eight single malt
whiskies which has been released to
coincide with the showing of the final
season of the critically-acclaimed TV
series.
Talisker Select Reserve has been paired
with House Greyjoy from the TV series
which I have been told rules the Iron Islands
and worships the Drowned God making
it a natural pairing for
House Greyjoy as this single malt
which is known for its peppery smoke character is
distilled on the shores of the Isle of
Skye, one of the most remote and rugged
areas of Scotland.
Bottled at 45.8% ABV, with RRP of £48 the
Talisker Select Reserve Game of Thrones
House Greyjoy is now available from
Amazon
William
Morrison's Tasting Notes:
Nose:
Light pepper and smoke which becomes a
little spicier the more you nose it,
some shy young citrus fruit, a little
sweet honey and dark chocolate.
Taste:
Gentle lemon and pear coated in
Talisker's delicious signature spicy
pepper, some salted caramel compliments
the brown sugar sweetness.
Finish:
A deliciously long, rich, sweet finish
with vanilla, oak, spice - pepper and a
lovely gentle touch of ginger.
Comment:
It hasn't got a big in your face
Talisker peppery nose but it is
delicious on the palate and long finish,
another quality expression from the Isle
of Skye distillery or should I say House Greyjoy.
I have to admit I haven't followed The
Game of Thrones series so I couldn't
predict which whisky will prove to be
more popular than others in the
collection but from a whisky drinking
point of view I can say that the
Talisker Select Reserve Game of Thrones
House Greyjoy is the best of the Game of Thrones
releases I have tasted so far and
certainly one worth seeking out whether
it is for drinking or collecting but
don't hang around, grab a bottle while
you can, now available from
Amazon
