Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 탈리스커 특유의 후추 같은 매운 향과 옅은 훈연, 바다 소금이 먼저 두드러진다. 1988년 빈티지를 더글라스 레잉이 담은 11년 아일랜드 몰트답게 거친 해양 캐릭터가 노즈에 또렷이 깃들어 있다. 팰럿에서는 50도의 도수 위로 흑후추와 시트러스, 그을린 오크가 명확하게 발전한다. 피니시는 길고 매콤하게 짭조름한 피트와 후추의 매운맛을 남긴다. 탈리스커다운 강렬한 해양 구조감이 단단한 몰트다.

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
