Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스카이 섬 탈리스커가 1957년에 빚어 둔 술이 고든 앤 맥페일의 오리지널 캐스크 시리즈에서 33년의 무게를 견디고 잔에 도달한다. 깊은 황금이 차분히 자리한다. 향에서는 후추의 톡 쏘는 결과 짠 바닷내, 마른 향초가 차례로 일어선다. 잔을 잠시 흔들면 그 사이로 옅은 가죽과 향나무의 결이 더해진다. 51.1도의 도수는 입안에서 짭조름한 단맛과 매운 향신료, 옅은 훈연을 펼쳐내고 두 번째 모금에서는 마른 자두의 결이 더 또렷해진다. 마지막에는 검은 후추의 매움이 길게 이어지며 스카이 섬의 짠바람이 잔향 속에 깊이 남는다.

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
