Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
탈리스커를 더글라스 랭이 리필 호그스헤드에서 8년 숙성한 프로비넌스 보틀링이다. 노즈에서는 석탄과 시가 재, 그을음 같은 마른 뉘앙스가 명확하고, 단맛이 거의 없이 건조한 인상이 이어진다. 46도에서 팰럿은 단단하게 열리며, 씁쓸한 결과 비터 오렌지, 탈리스커 특유의 검은 후추와 소금기가 또렷하다. 피니시는 길지 않지만 시가 재와 바닷물의 여운이 인상적으로 남는 스카이 섬 몰트다.

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
