Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 천천히 돌리면 짙은 호박빛이 잔벽을 따라 흐른다. 코를 가까이 하면 탈리스커답게 석탄과 시가 재, 그을음 같은 마른 향이 밀려오고 셰리에서 온 쌉쌀한 코코아가 뒤따른다. 한 모금 머금으면 50도의 질감이 혀를 감싸며 쌉싸름함과 석탄의 풍미, 바다 소금기가 번진다. 더글라스 랭이 병입한 이 스카이 몰트는 탈리스커 특유의 검은 후추와 잿내를 혀 뒤로 길게 남긴다.
AITasting Notes

amber
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
