Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
옅은 호박빛이 잔 안에 짙게 어린다. 셰리 호그스헤드에서 9년을 보낸 탈리스커는 검은 후추와 바다 소금, 옅은 모닥불 연기의 향을 강하게 풀어놓는다. 입안에서는 훈연한 보리와 말린 자두, 그을린 오크가 매콤하면서도 단단하게 번지며 스카이 섬의 거친 기운을 드러낸다. 2009년 빈티지의 젊은 힘이 58.6도의 도수에 단단히 실리고, 후추와 소금기의 대비가 또렷하다. 연기와 향신료의 여운이 길게 이어진다.

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
