Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
맑은 황금빛이 잔에 또렷하게 비친다. 탈리스커 8년은 강하게 피트를 입힌 리필 캐스크에서 숙성한 디아지오 스페셜 릴리스로, 스카이 섬 증류소 특유의 후추 같은 매운맛과 바다 향이 또렷하다. 코에는 장작 연기와 굴 같은 짭조름함, 후추가 감돈다. 59.7도의 입은 강렬하게 차오르며 훈연과 검은 후추, 짠 미네랄이 깊게 머문다. 여운에는 매운 연기와 바다 소금이 길게 이어진다.
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
