Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가볍게 돌리면 아메리칸 오크 호그스헤드 30년의 옅은 호박빛이 잔 벽을 미끄러지듯 따라간다. 잔을 코끝에 가져가면 메이드 바이 더 시라는 이름답게 잘 익은 시트러스와 옅은 토탄 연기가 가장 먼저 인사한다. 한 모금을 머금으면 49.5도의 부드러운 보디가 짠 미네랄과 흑후추를 입천장에 미끄러뜨린다. 삼킨 뒤를 따라가면 탈리스커 증류소다운 광택 있는 바다 향과 매운 끝맛이 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…
