Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
반세기의 세월이 응축된 마호가니빛이 잔에 깊이 잠겨 있다. 스카이 섬의 Talisker가 1947년에 증류된 위스키를 Gordon & MacPhail이 35년 익혀 40도에 병입한 전설적 옛 보틀이다. 코에는 묵은 가죽과 그을린 가구, 짠 바닷바람이 깊게 머문다. 입안에서는 흑설탕과 미세한 피트, 짭조름한 미네랄이 두꺼운 질감으로 흐른다. 절제된 40도의 도수가 반세기 전 스카이의 강한 캐릭터를 흐트러뜨리지 않고 전한다. 여운은 짠 피트로 길게 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
