Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
짙은 호박빛이 잔에 어린 탈리스커 2010은 리필 호그스헤드에서 12년을 보낸 스카이 섬의 몰트다. 향에서는 오래된 석탄과 담뱃재, 그을음 위로 마른 전나무 리큐어와 씁쓸한 카카오가 건조하게 오른다. 입에서는 석탄 같은 씁쓸함과 쌉쌀한 오렌지에 소금기와 탈리스커 특유의 검은 후추가 얽힌다. 48.4도의 몸을 지나 담뱃재와 바다 소금의 여운이 짧지만 또렷하게 남는다.

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
