Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 코끝에 가져가면 축축한 지하실의 석탄 더미와 시가 재, 그을음의 마른 향이 훅 끼친다. 흔들수록 전나무 리큐어와 쌉쌀한 코코아, 단맛 없는 건조한 기운이 이어진다. 탈리스커의 이 어린 5년을 머금으면 석탄 같은 쌉쌀함과 전나무 리큐어, 비터 오렌지 위로 스카이 섬다운 소금기와 검은 후추가 얹힌다. 삼키면 바닷물로 끈 시가 재와 용담 오드비 같은 씁쓸함이 남는다. 옛 탈리스커의 거친 해양성을 잘 담은 스몰 배치다.

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
