Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
리필 호그스헤드에서 6년을 보낸 짧은 숙성이 오히려 탈리스커의 야성을 날것 그대로 남겼다. 58.7도의 도수 아래 석탄과 시가 재, 그을음, 초석 같은 건조하고 광물적인 향이 먼저 피어오르고 전나무 리큐어의 쌉싸름함이 뒤를 잇는다. 입에서는 쓴 오렌지와 석탄의 뉘앙스에 탈리스커 특유의 검은 후추와 짭조름한 바다 기운이 겹친다. 호박빛과 함께 다시 시가 재로 돌아오는 여운이 건조하게 잦아든다.

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
