Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가까이 하면 탈리스커 특유의 후추 같은 매운맛과 짭조름한 바다 향이 명확하게 드러난다. 12년 숙성과 리필 호그스헤드 덕에 향은 은은한 훈연과 감귤, 보리로 또렷하게 발전한다. 팰럿에서는 그을음 위로 흑후추와 소금기가 명확하게 드러나며, 56.3도가 강건하게 받친다. 피니시는 후추와 미네랄이 길게 이어지고, 스카이 섬 증류소의 개성이 단단하다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
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
