Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들어 콧날에 대면 짭조름한 바다내음과 옅은 훈연, 후추 향이 풀려 나온다. 코를 가까이 하면 스카이 섬의 탈리스커다운 해풍과 그을린 연기가 함께 다가온다. 한 모금 머금으면 묵직한 질감 위로 후추 같은 매운맛과 바다 소금기가 차오른다. 입에 굴리면 45.8도의 도수 속에서도 탈리스커 특유의 화한 자극이 또렷하다. 1990년 무렵 병입된 옛 스타일답게 해안의 거친 풍미가 분명하게 살아 있다. 삼킨 뒤 후추와 옅은 연기가 목 뒤로 오래 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
apricot
air Nose
the wine is much more obvious than in the DE, and I must confess that this is much less my style. I think that just like at many other distilleries, the combination of peaty whisky with red wine is a very tricky one, and that balance is extremely hard to achieve. The result is quick to become too leathery, or too farmy, or rubbery, or too bubblegummy, or simply dissonant or dirty-ish. I’m not saying that’s completely the case here, but again, I like the latest DE, or the new Storm, or the regular 10 years old better. Now, maybe the palate will tell us a different story? After fifteen minutes, some nicer chocolaty notes come through
restaurant Palate
how difficult to assess! I’ve never come across something that was that cask-influenced at Diageo’s (right, I haven’t tried everything of course). It’s an extremely bizarre whisky, at times liqueury, at times very orangey, at times hugely gingery (not to mention all the cardamom!)… Some parts are interesting or even nice (this peppery lemon) but others are, well, new to me. Between red pepper and… chilli and tomato sauce? Peppered honey? Cherry stem tea? Rubber bands? Chervil? Tarragon infused in curaçao? I’m compleeeeeetely lost here
timer Finish
long, quite acrid and green
