Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
짙은 호박빛이 잔 안에서 묵직하게 빛난다. 스카이 섬의 탈리스커가 다크 셰리 캐스크에서 23년을 보낸 이 보틀링은 짭짤한 바다 연기 위로 말린 과일과 후추, 그을음의 향을 깊게 피워 올린다. 50도의 한 모금은 기름진 질감으로 흐르며 셰리의 건포도 단맛과 강렬한 후추, 짠 소금기가 두껍게 어우러진다. 탈리스커다운 화끈한 바다의 개성이 입안에 깃들고, 여운은 짠 연기와 후추로 길고 뜨겁게 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
