Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스카이 섬 카르보스트 탈리스커의 거센 해풍과 화산암 풍토가 1978년 40년에 새겨져 있다. 델가도 줄레타 셰리 캐스크 40년이 잔에 짙은 호박빛으로 깊게 잠긴다. 향은 잘 익은 무화과와 검은 후추, 옅은 피트 연기, 짭짤한 바닷내음, 가죽이 켜켜이 올라온다. 탈리스커의 페퍼리한 캐릭터가 셰리와 만나 균형을 만든다. 입에는 50%의 도수가 두꺼운 질감과 함께 흐르며 흑설탕과 검은 후추, 훈제, 정향이 발전한다. 여운은 짭짤한 피트와 무화과가 길게 이어진다.

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
