Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
리필 호그스헤드에서 여덟 해를 보낸 시간이 탈리스커 특유의 후추 같은 기운을 또렷하게 길어 올렸다. 오크가 더한 향은 옅은 훈연 위로 바다소금과 레몬, 마른 풀을 산뜻하게 펼친다. 입에서는 52.2도의 또렷한 도수를 타고 검은 후추와 꿀, 짭조름한 소금기가 강하게 번진다. 중반으로 갈수록 후추의 매운 기운과 바다 내음이 더해지며 입 안을 톡 쏘게 채운다. 옅은 황금빛 잔 끝으로 연기와 후추, 짭조름한 기운의 여운이 길고 톡 쏘게 이어진다.

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
