Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈는 셰리 캐스크에서 20년을 보낸 1981년 빈티지 탈리스커의 짠 해풍, 옅은 토탄 연기, 마른 무화과 향이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 62도의 강도가 스카이 섬 캐릭터를 단단하게 받친다. 팰럿은 짠 캐러멜, 검은 후추, 가죽이 균형 있게 발전한다. 피니시는 해풍과 마른 토탄이 길게 이어진다. 디아지오 스페셜 릴리즈의 정밀한 구조감이 또렷하다.

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
