Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들면 리필 유러피언 오크에서 42년을 보낸 짙은 호박빛이 잔 안에서 묵직하게 출렁인다. 코를 가져가면 1978년산 탈리스커 특유의 짭조름한 바닷내와 가벼운 스모크가 동시에 떠오른다. 한 모금을 머금으면 53.9 도수가 만든 두꺼운 질감이 혀를 가득 채운다. 옅은 백후추와 미네랄, 셰리 잔향이 차례로 따라온다. 삼킨 뒤에는 짠맛과 우드가 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
adios. Far oilier, thicker even on the nose, camphory yet less peaty—though that may simply be the wear and tear of time—certainly peppery (a constant), and much more on cooked fruit, including exotics. Even after over fifty years in bottle, it still packs an almighty punch! With water: it tightens up marvellously, all on waxed cloth and old oil cans gathering dust at the back of the garage—or if you prefer, ‘vintage British car’, the connoisseurs will get the picture
restaurant Palate
an incredible maelstrom of all sorts of things, spices, pepper, oysters, bananas, cough syrup, liquorice, camphor, mint, sloe, olive oil, pine honeydew, tar, smoked fish, pipe tobacco, and heaven knows what else. Wow wow wow. With water: it’s like a very old Sauternes from a highly botrytised year
