Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스카이 섬 거친 해안의 탈리스커는 후추 같은 매운맛과 바다 내음으로 이름난 증류소다. 1차 충전 버번 호그스헤드에서 8년을 보낸 이 보틀링은 맑은 황금빛을 띤다. 향은 갯내음과 옅은 훈연, 레몬이 또렷이 드러난다. 입에서는 59.4도의 강렬한 힘이 탈리스커 특유의 검은 후추와 그을린 보리, 짭조름한 바다 소금을 날카롭게 입을 채운다. 어리지만 패기 넘치는 매운 여운이 뜨겁고 길게 타오른다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber/chestnut
air Nose
much rounder, smoother, with more ‘sweet’ sherry, raisins, figs… Then rather more citrus and lemony herbs. Lemongrass, lemon ginger, perhaps a little dill… All that is fine, but then we’re having beef stock and parsley, soy sauce (a drop), old copper coins, and then these oysters again, with a drop of vinegar. Tends to get earthier (moist garden peat). With water: leather, tobacco, brine, and whelks ;-)
restaurant Palate
oh my this is strong, it makes me cough. The good news is that it’s also one of the best cough syrups. Bitter herbs (remember Unicum?) and eucalyptus, plus some menthol oil, all that coated with crushed sultanas and honeydew. Or something like that. With water: a thicker texture, and just a perfect old sherried peater, full of tobacco, walnuts, liquorice, marmalade, and black raisins. What it hasn’t quite got from the more modern ones is the saltiness
timer Finish
long, rather medicinal again. Grapefruit juice with some camphor and eucalyptus. Zestier and cleaner than expected, with a lot of citrus
