Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 탈리스커 1988 31년의 가벼운 짠 훈연과 잘 익은 시트러스가 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 31년 리필 아메리칸 오크 숙성이 빚어낸 옅은 흰 후추와 마른 풀잎, 가벼운 꿀이 뒤따라 명확하게 발전한다. 팰럿은 51.4도의 균형 잡힌 무게로 입을 채우며 토피와 마른 시나몬, 검은 후추, 잘 익은 사과가 단단한 구조감을 잡는다. 스카이 섬 풍토가 만든 깊이와 프리마 앤 울티마 시리즈 보틀링의 정교함이 또렷이 드러난다. 피니시는 길고 짠 미네랄과 마른 오크가 깊게 머문다.

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
