Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
1984년에 증류된 탈리스커가 리필 아메리칸 오크와 셰리 벗을 거쳐 37년을 보낸 끝에 짙은 호박빛을 잔에 또렷이 깃들게 한다. 코끝에는 스카이의 짠 바닷바람과 옅은 훈연, 농축된 자두 잼이 먼저 올라온다. 한 모금에는 탈리스커 특유의 후추 톤과 셰리의 단맛, 가죽이 묵직하게 입을 채운다. 51.9도의 도수가 프리마 앤 울티마답게 단단한 균형을 끝까지 길게 비친다.

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
