Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 코끝으로 가져가면 탈리스커다운 짭조름한 바닷내와 후추, 옅은 피트 연기가 함께 올라온다. 가볍게 흔들면 리필 호그스헤드가 더한 잘 익은 배와 바닐라가 훈연 아래 드러난다. 한 모금 조심히 머금으면 2011년 59.2도의 힘이 후추와 그을린 재, 소금기로 혀를 두드린다. 삼키고 나면 스카이 섬다운 매콤한 연기의 여운이 입천장을 따뜻하게 덮으며 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes

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
