Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스카이 섬 카르보스트 해안의 거센 바닷바람과 깎아지른 절벽 곁에서 자란 탈리스커는 후추 같은 매운맛으로 익숙하다. 잔에 깊은 황금빛이 비치고 1979 빈티지가 18년의 시간을 거친 결로 다듬어 두었다. 노즈에서 검은 후추와 바닷내, 그을린 나무가 다가오며 61.8도의 강한 술기운이 매섭게 따른다. 입에서는 훈제 베이컨과 굴 소금, 가죽의 묵직함이 단단한 풀바디를 펼친다. 여운에 짠 바람과 후추가 또렷이 깃들어 있다.

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
