Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
짙은 호박빛이 잔 속에서 무겁게 어린다. 스카이 섬의 탈리스커를 헌터 레잉이 셰리 호그스헤드에서 7년 담은 이 보틀링은 코에서 석탄과 시가 재, 그을음과 쌉쌀한 카카오의 건조한 향을 낸다. 50도의 입안에서는 쓴 오렌지와 소금기, 탈리스커 특유의 검은 후추가 또렷하게 번진다. 여운은 시가 재와 바닷물, 쌉싸름한 뉘앙스가 마르고 길게 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
