Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 감싸 쥐고 흔들면 앰버빛이 잔 벽을 타고 흐른다. 코끝에 가져가면 젖은 지하실의 석탄과 시가 재, 검댕이 마르게 오르고 셰리에서 온 쌉쌀한 코코아가 뒤따른다. 리필 호그스헤드에서 6년을 보낸 59.8도의 이 탈리스커를 한 모금 머금으면 석탄의 쌉쌀함과 비터 오렌지, 탈리스커 특유의 검은 후추가 파고든다. 삼키면 짭조름한 바다 기운과 시가 재의 뉘앙스가 짧지만 또렷하게 남는다.

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
