Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오래된 아일랜드 위스키 특유의 옅은 황금빛이 잔 안에 또렷이 빛난다. 1979년 빈티지 탈리스커가 카덴헤드 Authentic Collection으로 14년의 시간을 거쳐 64.3도의 폭발적인 도수에 담겼다. 향에서는 짙은 후추 톤과 옅은 바다 내음, 마른 피트가 코를 사로잡는다. 입에서는 짭조름한 캐러멜과 시나몬 토스트의 진한 풍미가 묵직하게 입을 채우고 매콤한 후추 톤이 균형을 단단히 잡는다. 색은 옅은 황금빛이며 여운은 오래된 피트와 후추 잔향으로 길게 따라간다. 단단한 구조감과 풍부한 깊이가 잔에 또렷이 머문다.

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
