Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스카이 섬의 거센 바닷바람과 파도가 탈리스커 9년의 캐릭터를 처음부터 끝까지 관통한다. 리필 호그스헤드에서 9년을 보낸 색은 맑은 황금빛이다. 코에는 갯내음과 후추, 옅은 훈연이 또렷하게 드러난다. 50도의 도수가 입에서 검은 후추와 바다 소금, 보리 단맛을 또렷하게 밀어 올린다. 섬다운 짭짤하고 매콤한 결이 탈리스커 특유의 개성으로 살아난다. 여운은 후추의 열기와 갯내를 길게 남긴다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
the modern Distillery Only character is back, the casks must have been pretty active (as the colour confirms), with a combination of zest, smoke, vanilla, ginger and olives. Truth be told, it’s utterly gorgeous, all of it ticking together with the synchronicity of a Formula 1 engine (that should earn me a beer). With water: the candied fruit from the Port does show a little more, but it remains under control, worry not, the distillate stands firm
restaurant Palate
alas, it’s irresistible, a little sweet perhaps but so fabulously smoky and phenolic. Salty zest smoked over fir wood. With water: saps and resins, citrus, salt, green olives, seawater, candied ginger, and green peppercorns
timer Finish
it keeps dancing the same dance for quite a while
