Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
불빛 아래 짙은 호박빛이 잔 속에서 무겁게 일렁인다. 하트 브라더스가 담은 탈리스커 1993은 열다섯 해의 시간을 거쳐, 잔을 코끝에 두면 축축한 지하실의 석탄과 시가 재, 그을음이 마른 기운으로 번진다. 한 모금 머금으면 쌉싸름한 코코아와 비터 오렌지, 바다의 짠기가 탈리스커 특유의 검은 후추와 함께 혀를 자극한다. 51.7도의 힘이 그 아래를 단단히 받치고, 여운에는 물을 끼얹어 끈 재의 잔향이 짭조름하게 오래 남는다.

air Nose
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
