Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
짙은 호박빛이 잔 속에 깊게 머문다. 1975년 증류된 올드 탈리스커답게 향에서는 축축한 지하실의 석탄 더미, 시가 재와 초석, 그을음, 전나무 봉오리 리큐어가 배어난다. 단맛은 한 톨도 없이 모든 것이 메마르다. 입에서는 그 쌉싸름함과 석탄의 기운이 돌아오고, 소금과 탈리스커 특유의 검은 후추, 쓴 오렌지가 두꺼운 질감으로 흐른다. 41년의 세월을 품은 잔에서, 바닷물에 식힌 시가 재의 여운이 짧지만 또렷하게 끝난다.

air Nose
pretty much zero doubt, unless someone slightly unhinged has entirely re-dressed a very old Talisker from G&M or BB&R, which would make little sense. In short, it is very much on an old heap of coal at the back of a slightly damp cellar, with cigar ashes, saltpetre, soot, old liqueurs made from buds, chiefly fir, and bitter cocoa from the sherry. Not a gram of sweetness, everything is dry as a truncheon blow. We rather like this. Let us see whether the palate is a little tired, which, all things considered, would almost be good news. You see what we mean
restaurant Palate
we find the bitterness again, the coal-like side, but also those old fir liqueurs, this time joined by bitter orange. The coastal side is well present too this time, with salt but also Talisker’s proverbial black pepper. If this is not old Talisker, it is devilishly well imitated
timer Finish
not very long, of course, but the cigar ashes return, ashes that we might have extinguished by dousing them with a little seawater, then with gentian eau-de-vie, what an idea
