Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
안개 짙은 스카이 섬의 유일한 증류소 탈리스커는 거친 바다와 화산암의 기운을 원액에 새긴다. 1979년 원액을 16년 숙성해 62.5도로 카데넘이 병입한 이 보틀링은 옛 탈리스커의 진면목을 보여 준다. 호박빛 잔에서 석탄과 시가 재, 그을음과 씁쓸한 코코아 향이 메마르게 오른다. 입안에서는 쌉싸름한 석탄과 비터 오렌지, 소금과 탈리스커 특유의 검은 후추가 강렬하게 흐른다. 여운은 바닷물에 적신 재의 잔향으로 매섭게 이어진다.
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
