Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔 속 옅은 황금빛이 1979년의 아득한 시간을 머금고 잔잔히 잠겨 있다. 탈리스커 특유의 후추와 바다 소금기가 옅은 연기와 함께 코를 먼저 자극한다. 62.8도의 높은 기세는 입안에서 검은 후추와 짭조름한 미네랄, 옅은 훈연을 강렬하게 펼친다. 빈티지 스카이의 야성이 시간에 다듬어졌지만 여전히 힘차고, 여운은 매콤한 후추와 바다내음으로 뜨겁게 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
