Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 코끝에 가져가면 1977년 증류된 탈리스커의 후추 같은 매운 연기와 짭조름한 바다 향이 솟구친다. 잔을 흔들면 그 아래로 잘 익은 과일과 밀랍의 단내가 번진다. 한 모금 머금으면 25년 숙성이 다듬은 부드러운 훈연과 후추의 열기가 동시에 퍼진다. 삼키면 바닷바람을 머금은 재와 미네랄이 50도의 힘으로 혀 끝에서 길게 타오른다.

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
