Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스카이 섬의 탈리스커가 1972년부터 32년을 보내고 럼 캐스크의 마무리를 거쳐 깊은 호박빛으로 잔에 어린다. 코끝에는 바닷소금과 검은 후추, 옅은 사탕수수의 단 향이 어우러져 피어오르고, 그 뒤로 훈제한 과일이 따른다. 한 모금 머금으면 훈제한 과일과 꿀, 후추의 매콤함이 부드럽게 번지고, 오랜 세월이 다듬은 매끄러운 결이 혀 위에 곱게 깔린다. 45.2도의 기운이 잔잔하게 흐르며, 마지막에는 짭조름한 후추의 여운이 길게 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
