Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오크 캐스크 한 통이 13년 동안 1979년산 탈리스커의 강한 피트 스피릿을 빼곡히 빚어냈다. 64.1도의 알코올이 가진 무게가 그대로 향에서 드러나는데 검은 후추와 짠 모닥불 연기, 짭조름한 갯바위가 먼저 떠오른다. 입은 입천장을 천천히 덮는 훈제 시트러스, 흰 후추, 마른 헤더로 풀바디로 흐른다. 옅은 황금빛이 잔을 채우고 여운은 강한 피트와 후추로 길게 이어진다.

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
