Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 석탄과 눅눅한 지하실, 시가 재와 그을음의 향이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 더글라스 랭이 병입한 탈리스커 2011은 리필 호그스헤드에서 7년을 보낸 58.9도 스카이섬 몰트로, 단맛이 거의 없이 건조하고 미네랄한 개성이 뚜렷하다. 팰럿은 쌉쌀한 석탄의 결에 소금기와 증류소 특유의 흑후추, 쌉쌀한 오렌지가 발전한다. 어린 숙성에도 짜임새가 단정하고 각이 살아 있다. 리필 캐스크가 스피릿의 해안다운 개성을 그대로 드러낸다. 여운은 길지 않으나 시가 재와 바닷물의 뉘앙스가 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
