Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스카이 섬의 탈리스커로, 노즈에서는 후추 같은 매캐함과 바닷바람의 짠내, 옅은 훈연이 먼저 두드러진다. 17년 숙성과 46도의 도수가 더해져 팰럿은 맥아 단맛 위로 흑후추와 시트러스, 미네랄이 또렷하게 발전한다. 탈리스커 특유의 화한 스파이스와 구조감이 인상적이다. 피니시는 후추의 얼얼함과 소금기, 가벼운 연기가 길게 이어지며 강건하게 마무리된다.
AITasting Notes

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
