Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 탈리스커 특유의 짭짤한 바다 내음과 옅은 피트 연기가 가장 먼저 두드러지고, 후추의 알싸함이 뒤따른다. 스카이섬 증류소의 해양 캐릭터가 12년 리필 호그스헤드 숙성을 거치며 배와 보리의 단맛으로 둥글어진다. 입에서는 검은 후추와 재, 감귤의 산미가 57도의 도수 위에서 또렷하게 발전한다. 중반에는 미네랄과 옅은 훈제향이 더해지며 짠맛이 강조된다. 피니시는 매캐한 연기와 소금기, 톡 쏘는 후추가 길게 이어지며, 탈리스커다운 강건한 구조감이 단단하게 드러나는 한 잔이다.

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
