Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
거친 파도가 몰아치는 스카이 섬의 유일한 증류소 탈리스커는 바다와 후추의 개성으로 각인된다. 리필 호그스헤드에서 8년을 보낸 이 올드 파티큘러는 옅은 호박빛을 띤다. 코에는 젖은 석탄과 그을음, 재, 짭조름한 소금기가 몰려와 단맛을 거의 허락하지 않는다. 48.4도의 입안은 쌉싸름한 석탄 향과 바다 소금, 탈리스커 특유의 검은 후추가 또렷이 드러난다. 여운에는 바닷물에 적신 시가 재의 잔향이 남는다.

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
