Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오랜 세월이 응축된 짙은 호박빛이 잔 속에 깊이 어린다. 탈리스커가 1957년을 담아 40년 넘게 잠들었던 이 희귀한 보틀링은 코끝에서 축축한 지하실의 석탄과 시가 재, 그을음의 향을 서서히 풀어놓는다. 셰리에서 온 쌉쌀한 코코아와 오래된 리큐어가 그 아래 깔린다. 단맛은 거의 없이 모든 것이 바짝 마른 듯 건조하다. 입에 넣으면 쌉쌀한 석탄과 오래된 전나무 술, 비터 오렌지가 번지고 탈리스커 특유의 검은 후추와 바다 소금이 뒤를 받친다. 여운은 그리 길지 않으나 시가 재와 바닷물의 짠 기운으로 곧게 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
