Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
황혼이 무겁게 내려앉은 짙은 호박이 잔의 측면을 단단히 메운다. 탈리스커 1955 빈티지 37년은 고든 앤 맥페일이 캐스크 스트렝스로 길어낸 1993년 보틀링이며, 향에서는 짠 바닷바람과 그을린 후추, 옅은 토탄, 그리고 농밀한 마른 과일이 동시에 펼쳐진다. 50.4도의 도수는 입안에서 탈리스커 특유의 흑후추 매콤함과 캐러멜라이즈된 자두, 짭짤한 미네랄리티를 한꺼번에 풀어놓으며 1950년대 아일랜드 위스키의 깊이를 보여준다. 끝은 매콤한 후추의 잔향으로 길게 끌린다.

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
