Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오랜 세월이 응축된 짙은 호박빛이 잔 안에 잠잠히 어른거린다. 1979년의 탈리스커가 18년의 시간 끝에 풀어낸 향은 옅은 해풍, 검은 후추, 그릴드 베이컨이 어우러져 스카이 섬의 거친 바람을 떠올리게 한다. 입안에서는 60.7도의 알코올이 짙은 꿀과 시트러스, 옅은 피트의 그을음을 끌고 간다. 마무리에는 짭조름한 잔향이 깊게 머문다.
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
