Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 눅눅한 지하실의 석탄과 시가 재, 그을음이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 탈리스커다운 해안의 짠기가 그 위로 얹히며 셰리에서 온 쌉싸름한 코코아가 마른 인상을 더한다. 팰럿에서는 다시 석탄 같은 쓴맛과 전나무 리큐어, 쓴 오렌지가 또렷하게 드러나고 탈리스커 특유의 검은 후추가 선명하게 발전한다. 9년의 리필 호그스헤드 숙성은 단맛을 거의 남기지 않아 시종 건조하다. 피니시는 길지 않으나 바닷물에 적신 듯한 시가 재의 잔향이 깊게 머문다.

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
