Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔 안에 짙은 호박빛이 옛 보틀의 시간을 응축한다. 1951 빈티지 탈리스커답게 짭조름한 미네랄과 옛 시대의 옅은 피트, 잘 익은 무화과의 향이 코를 천천히 채운다. 입에서는 43도의 절제된 도수가 잔잔한 단맛으로 입을 덮으며 흑설탕, 후추, 옅은 가죽이 발전한다. 스카이 섬의 옛 시간감이 잔향까지 깊게 머문다. 시간을 들여 음미할 면모가 한 잔에 잘 드러난다.

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
