Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가볍게 흔들면 옅은 황금빛 너머로 짭조름한 바다 연기가 코끝에 먼저 닿는다. 스카이 섬 탈리스커다운 후추의 매콤함과 굴, 옅은 토탄향이 차례로 올라온다. 한 모금 머금으면 54.8도의 기운이 혀를 휘감으며 흑후추와 소금기, 그을린 보리가 또렷하게 번진다. 호그스헤드에서 14년을 보낸 섬 위스키의 힘을 삼키면, 화한 후추와 바다 미네랄의 여운이 길게 따라온다.

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
