Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들면 짙은 호박빛이 잔벽을 무겁게 흐른다. 코끝으로 가져가면 1979년 탈리스커에서 오래된 석탄과 시가 재, 검댕에 셰리의 쌉쌀한 코코아가 겹쳐 올라온다. 64.2도의 강렬한 도수라 물을 넉넉히 섞어 머금으면 짠 바다 내음과 탈리스커 특유의 검은 후추, 마른 쓴맛이 혀를 강하게 친다. 삼키면 재와 소금기가 스카이 섬다운 거친 여운으로 입안에 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
