Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 탈리스커 특유의 후추 향신료와 옅은 바다 내음, 그을린 보리가 먼저 두드러진다. 8년이라는 젊은 숙성과 59.5도의 높은 도수답게 팰럿은 강렬한 검은 후추와 짭조름한 미네랄, 가벼운 스모크가 한꺼번에 밀려온다. 아일랜드 스카이 섬 탈리스커의 화끈한 캐릭터가 더글라스 레잉 보틀링에서 더 거칠게 드러나고, 리필 호그스헤드가 절제된 단맛을 받친다. 피니시는 후추와 소금기, 연기가 길게 발전한다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
very pale white wine
air Nose
it doesn't feel like they've been using rum wood, which they did last year. We're rather experiencing an extremely narrow style, in the best sense of that expression (as some great Chablis can be narrow). A lot of mercurochrome, seawater, oysters, crushed chalk and just a load of peat. I think I had already wondered if they weren't Islayising Talisker… With water: oh this wonderful brine! Plus olive oil and a drop of mezcal. Even mezcal cannot beat this
restaurant Palate
a total blade, sharp like a katana (whatever) and with a lot of lemon juice, brine and just 'peat'. A citrusy fruitiness too after a few seconds, perhaps citrons? Again, very simple, almost abstract, and just terrific. With water: 4/4 (nose neat, nose diluted, palate neat, palate diluted). Stunning purity, I suppose the only thing you could do to further improve this make is wait. All the rest is total absolut ganz perfect
timer Finish
long, well, not that long actually but sublimely pure
