Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
옅은 황금빛이 잔 안에 또렷하게 어린다. 스카이 섬의 탈리스커답게 짭조름한 바다 내음과 후추, 옅은 토탄 연기가 먼저 솟구친다. 버번 호그스헤드가 더한 바닐라와 잘 익은 배의 단맛이 그 뒤를 받친다. 60.1도의 높은 도수가 한 모금마다 강렬한 후추와 소금기, 훈연을 또렷하게 펼친다. 1979년 빈티지의 21년 숙성이 거친 힘을 다듬었다. 여운에는 바다 내음과 후추의 매콤함이 길고 강하게 이어진다.

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
