Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
리필 호그스헤드에서 12년을 보낸 숙성이 스카이 섬 탈리스커의 거친 해풍을 적당히 길들인다. 캐스크의 영향이 옅은 만큼 증류소 본연의 후추 같은 매캐함이 살아 있다. 향에는 굴 껍질의 짠맛과 옅은 훈연, 레몬의 산미가 또렷이 올라오고, 입에서는 검은 후추와 바닐라, 바닷소금이 두꺼운 질감으로 흐른다. 48.4도의 도수가 자극적인 스파이스를 단단히 받친다. 옅은 황금빛 끝에 후추와 연기의 여운이 화하게 오래 따라온다.

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
