Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
깊은 황금빛이 잔 안에서 따뜻한 광택을 머금는다. 스카이 섬의 탈리스커를 셰리를 담았던 보데가 호그스헤드에서 26년 길러낸 이 위스키는 후추 같은 매운맛과 바다의 기운을 지닌다. 향에는 옅은 훈연과 바다 소금기 뒤로 건포도의 단맛이 비치고, 58.4도의 한 모금은 백후추의 매운 기운과 짭조름함, 말린 과일의 단맛으로 입안을 감싼다. 탈리스커 특유의 후추와 바다의 결이 또렷하며, 여운에는 매운 향신료와 소금기가 길게 이어진다.

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
