Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
this one is sort of between the 1951 and the 1952 at first nosing, mid-ashy, mid-orangey, but also with much bigger notes of shoe polish and soot. There’s also quite some ‘good’ soap; I mean, not soapy soap, rather deluxe soap. Oh well… The development is, once again, beautiful. Certainly drier than both the 1951 and the 1952 now, with even more shoe polish, metal polish, ink, gun grease, wet chalk… Another fabulous nose. Amazing how these three old Taliskers are similar yet different on the nose
restaurant Palate
very coherent, with again these resinous and waxy notes. I should confess I never tried shoe polish but that may well taste like this. Thicker mouth feel than in the other ones. Gets then a tad metallic but also very salty and lemony again. Also a tad tannic
timer Finish
long, with again these metallic notes
