Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 코끝에 가져가면 1978년산 탈리스커 특유의 검은 후추와 짠 바다 향이 가장 먼저 인사한다. 잔을 흔들면 옅은 황금빛이 천천히 도는 가운데 15년이 새긴 부드러운 피트와 미네랄 노트가 머문다. 한 모금을 머금으면 56.4도의 알코올이 입을 강하게 데우며 스카이 섬 특유의 매운 페퍼와 시트러스의 단맛이 묵직하게 흐른다. 천천히 삼키면 짠 바다 잔향이 입에 길게 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
