Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들어 앰버빛을 잔 벽에 새긴 뒤 코를 가져가면 탈리스커 특유의 석탄과 시가 재, 그을음 향이 메마르게 밀려온다. 전나무 리큐어와 씁쓸한 코코아가 뒤를 잇는다. 한 모금 머금으면 48.4도의 힘이 석탄 같은 쌉쌀함과 비터 오렌지, 스카이 섬의 짭조름한 소금기를 밀어 올린다. 탈리스커 특유의 검은 후추가 혀를 톡 쏜다. 삼키고 나면 바닷물로 끈 시가 재와 용담 향이 마른 채로 오래 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
