Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 천천히 돌려 향을 깨우면 축축한 지하실에 쌓인 석탄 더미와 시가 재, 그을음의 오래된 향이 밀려온다. 전나무 새순 리큐어와 셰리에서 온 쌉싸름한 코코아가 뒤를 따르며 단맛 없이 건조하게 흐른다. 한 모금 머금으면 40도의 몸통 위로 석탄의 쓴맛과 쓴 오렌지, 탈리스커 특유의 검은 후추와 바다 소금기가 어우러진다. 1947년 증류해 35년을 보낸 이 아일랜즈 몰트는 삼킨 뒤에도 바닷물에 적신 시가 재의 여운이 남는다.

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
