Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
옅은 황금빛이 잔 속에 또렷이 비친다. 탈리스커가 1979년 증류되어 16년을 머문 결과는 63.2도라는 거대한 알코올로 먼저 자신을 드러낸다. 향에서는 후추와 바닷바람, 옅은 훈연이 거칠게 풀려나고 입에서는 캐든헤드의 캐스크 스트렝스가 입천장을 천천히 덮으며 흰후추와 짠 미네랄이 폭발한다. 여운에는 스카이 섬의 거친 결이 길게 머무르며 강한 알코올이 깊은 잔향을 남긴다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
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
