Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
맑은 황금빛이 잔 안에 부드럽게 일렁인다. 리필 호그스헤드에서 20년을 보낸 1982년 탈리스커는 향에서 가장 먼저 짭조름한 바닷바람과 흰 후추, 마른 해초의 인상을 풀어놓는다. 한 모금이 입에 들어오면 스카이 섬 특유의 알싸한 후추와 훈제 베이컨, 짠 캐러멜이 묵직하게 입을 채우고, 시간이 길들인 부드러운 오일리함이 잔잔히 잠겨 있다. 50도의 도수는 절제된 무게로 풍미를 떠받치며, 마지막에는 바다 연기와 가죽의 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
