Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
버번 아메리칸 오크에서 32년을 보낸 시간이 이 탈리스커 1990의 오래된 깊이를 완성한다. 오랜 숙성은 축축한 지하실의 석탄과 시가 재, 초석과 그을음의 향을 건조하게 풀어낸다. 52.1도의 입안은 쌉쌀한 석탄과 씁쓸한 오렌지, 소금기 위로 탈리스커 특유의 검은 후추가 또렷하게 밀려든다. 단맛을 거의 배제한 고졸한 성격이 흔들림 없고, 앰버빛 아래로 시가 재와 바닷물을 떠올리게 하는 여운이 남는다.

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
