Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오랜 시간이 응축된 짙은 호박빛이 잔 깊숙이 내려앉아 있다. 디아지오 스페셜 릴리즈 2012의 탈리스커 35년산은 1977 빈티지의 흔적을 짭조름한 바닷바람과 옅은 피트, 따스한 향신료의 향으로 풀어낸다. 한 모금이 입을 풍성하게 채우며 잘 익은 자두와 흰 후추, 옅은 가죽이 미끄러지듯 이어진다. 54.6도의 단단한 짜임 끝에는 옅은 훈연과 잔잔한 소금기가 길게 깊게 머문다.
AITasting Notes

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
