Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
옅은 금빛이 잔 안에 맑게 비친다. 스카이 섬의 탈리스커가 리필 호그스헤드에서 10년을 보내며 바닷소금과 후추, 옅은 훈연의 향을 또렷하게 드러낸다. 48.4도의 도수가 혀에 닿으면 통후추의 알싸함과 레몬, 미네랄의 풍미가 강하게 번진다. 섬 특유의 짭조름한 해풍과 화한 후추의 기운이 맞물리며 입안을 자극하고, 소금기와 연기의 여운이 길게 이어진다.

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
