Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들어 향을 깨우면 탈리스커 30년이 셰리 캐스크에서 마셔 들인 마른 자두와 짠 페놀 향을 풀어 놓는다. 잔을 코끝에 가져가면 스카이 섬의 짭조름한 바람이 셰리 단맛 뒤에서 또렷이 일어난다. 한 모금을 머금으면 51.9도의 도수가 흰 후추의 특유 자극과 다크 초콜릿을 동시에 따라간다. 마지막에는 짠 미네랄의 잔향이 입가에 오래 남는다.
AITasting Notes

air Nose
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
