Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 조심스레 돌리면 깊은 앰버빛이 유리 안쪽을 타고 느리게 흐른다. 코를 가져가면 33년을 보낸 탈리스커 1985다운 원숙한 향이 열리며 베르베나 리큐어와 캄포, 랍상소총차, 캔디드 스모크가 층층이 얽힌다. 한 모금 머금으면 53.6도의 힘이 짙은 훈연과 레몬, 멘톨, 유칼립투스를 혀 위에 강렬하게 펼친다. 삼킨 뒤에는 수지 같은 깊은 여운이 오래도록 목 안쪽에 남아 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
all right; high-end OBE. Verbena liqueur (Verveine du Velay) and old Chartreuse, maraschino, camphor, lapsang souchong, fir honeydew, some kind of candied smoke, old triple-sec, resins… Well this is just totally epic and glorious. With water: more very old chartreuse, and probably a few extremely old high-malt blends from like 90 or 100 years ago. Hints of bouillons, marrow, miso, certainly some beeswax, bull-dog sauce, a pinhead of Marmite…
restaurant Palate
immensely smoky, lemony, mentholy, terpenic, and shock-full of eucalyptus and affiliated tinier flavours (myrtle, for example, soft basil, wild thyme…) With water: just perfect, with more old magazines and books, sucking liquorice wood, lemon marmalade, marrow quenelles, cress soup… Amazing development and a great example of perfect bottle maturation
timer Finish
long, rich and yet tight and focused, rather resinous. Thai bouillon, I would say
