Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스카이 섬 카본 호숫가의 거센 바닷바람과 화산암 풍토가 탈리스커의 후추 같은 캐릭터를 처음부터 끝까지 관통한다. 잔에는 옅은 호박빛이 또렷이 깃들어 있다. 향에서는 짭조름한 미역과 마른 후추, 절제된 훈연이 천천히 올라온다. 입에서는 11년의 숙성이 길러낸 후추의 매콤함이 묵직하게 입을 채우고 짠 미네랄의 결이 잇따른다. 46도의 균형 속에서 스카이 섬 풍토의 거센 바람이 길게 이어지는 여운으로 남는다.

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
