Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 천천히 돌리면 셰리 캐스크가 입힌 짙은 호박빛이 잔 벽을 타고 내린다. 코를 가져가면 스카이 섬의 탈리스커다운 짭조름한 바닷내와 후추 같은 매운 연기, 말린 과일이 함께 올라온다. 58.9도의 술을 한 모금 머금으면 특유의 강한 후추향과 그을음, 건포도의 단맛이 혀를 강하게 두드린다. 여섯 해의 젊은 숙성이 무색한 짭짤한 끝맛이 삼킨 뒤 오래 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
