Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가볍게 흔들면 1953년이 빚어 둔 옅은 호박빛이 잔 벽을 천천히 흐른다. 코끝에 가져가면 탈리스커 1953의 30년 숙성이 빚어낸 짭짤한 바닷바람과 옅은 토탄 연기, 마른 무화과가 가장 먼저 인사한다. 한 모금을 머금으면 40도가 입천장을 부드럽게 채우며 검은 후추와 솔티드 캐러멜, 시가 박스가 따라온다. 고든 앤 맥페일 보틀링을 삼키면 스카이 섬의 야성이 깊게 머문다.

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
