Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
거친 파도가 부서지는 스카이 섬의 유일한 증류소 탈리스커는 후추 같은 매운 해풍의 위스키로 유명하다. 셰리 버트에서 25년을 보낸 1980년 빈티지는 잔에 짙은 호박빛으로 잠겨 있다. 코에는 말린 과일과 그을린 해초, 검은 후추의 알싸함이 솟아오르고, 50도의 도수 속에서 훈제 향과 흑설탕, 소금기 어린 단맛이 묵직하게 입을 채운다. 여운에는 탈리스커 특유의 후추 같은 매운 열기와 바다 내음이 길게 타오른다.

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
