Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오랜 세월이 응축된 짙은 황금빛이 잔에 잔잔히 잠겨 있다. 노즈에는 탈리스커 특유의 짠 바닷바람과 옅은 피트 연기, 흰 후추가 가장 먼저 올라오고 그 뒤로 마른 헤더 꿀과 잘 익은 살구가 따라붙는다. 입에서는 훈제된 견과와 캐러멜라이즈된 배, 흑후추가 두꺼운 질감으로 흐르고 49.5도의 알코올이 30년 숙성의 결을 잘 정돈해준다. 여운은 짭조름한 미네랄과 식어가는 모닥불 재로 깊게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
extremely dry, and extremely austere at first nosing, almost Jansenist if I may say so. Rocks, clay, earth (or even mud), coal, tar, leaves, putty, soot… It’s only after a good ten minutes that more bitter orange and fresh walnut notes do show up, but the whole never quite becomes fruity. There’s also more medicinal notes, disinfectant… And then the expected pepper. With water: more ‘coastality’. Oysters and lemon
restaurant Palate
big, earthy, leafy, rooty and peaty attack, with quite some brine underneath. Very dry yet again, sharp, very austere, but I love this. With water: more medicinal, Islay-style. More sea stuff as well (to keep all this as short as possible)
timer Finish
maybe not very long but ashier. Also a little olive oil, with something tannic? Also lemons, salt, pepper, oysters…
