Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
옅은 황금빛이 잔 안에 맑게 감돌며 바닷가의 청량함을 머금는다. 스카이 섬 탈리스커 특유의 후추 같은 알싸함이 인상적인데, 리필 호그스헤드에서 온 바닐라와 잘 익은 배 위로 짭조름한 바다 내음과 옅은 피트 연기가 솟아오른다. 58.1도의 도수가 입안에서 흑후추와 그을린 보리, 소금기를 강하게 끌어올리고, 그 사이로 꿀의 단맛이 은은하게 비친다. 스카이 섬을 마주한 증류소다운 후추와 바다 내음의 강렬한 개성이 인상적이다. 10년 숙성이 빚어낸 단단하고 화끈한 골격이 도드라지며, 여운은 후추와 바다 내음으로 길게 타오른다.

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
