Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스카이 섬 거친 해안에 홀로 선 탈리스커는 후추 같은 매운맛과 바닷내음으로 이름난 증류소다. 1979년 증류해 18년을 보낸 이 보틀링은 옅은 황금빛을 띠며 62.2도의 강한 힘을 품는다. 향은 검은 후추와 장작 연기, 짭짤한 갯내음이 또렷이 깃들고 입에서는 훈연과 소금, 매콤한 향신료가 강하게 몰아친다. 섬을 닮은 뜨겁고 짠 여운이 좀처럼 사그라들지 않고 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
