Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들면 옅은 황금빛이 가볍게 출렁이며 잔벽을 적신다. 코끝으로 가져가면 탈리스커답게 갓 빻은 후추와 바다 안개, 옅은 모닥불 연기가 한꺼번에 올라온다. 잔을 다시 기울이면 레몬과 보리 향이 살며시 더해진다. 한 모금 삼키면 리필 호그스헤드의 깔끔한 보리 단맛 위로 톡 쏘는 향신료와 짠맛, 옅은 시트러스가 퍼진다. 48.4도가 스카이 섬의 거친 기운을 또렷이 살린다. 마지막에는 후추의 얼얼함과 짭조름한 연기가 혀 안쪽에서 오래 타오른다.

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
