Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스카이 섬 칼보스트 해안가의 거친 파도와 짭조름한 바닷바람이 탈리스커 1974의 캐릭터를 시종 관통한다. 26년의 시간이 1974년 스피릿을 옅은 호박빛으로 다듬어 잔에 잠긴다. 향에서는 짠 미네랄과 옅은 피트 연기, 검은 후추가 또렷이 깃든다. 입에서는 44.7도의 부드러운 질감이 입천장을 천천히 덮으며 시트러스와 흰 후추, 마른 헤더가 또렷이 드러난다. 여운은 짠맛과 후추가 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
