Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들어 향을 깨우면 셰리 버트가 물들인 황금빛이 잔 벽을 타고 미끄러진다. 코를 가져가면 탈리스커 특유의 후추 같은 알싸함과 바다 내음 위로 말린 과일과 옅은 연기가 겹쳐진다. 한 모금을 머금으면 57.5도의 강한 질감이 입천장을 덮고 흑설탕과 훈연, 톡 쏘는 흰 후추가 함께 퍼진다. 삼킨 뒤에는 짭짤한 미네랄과 매콤한 스모크가 혀에 오래 남는다.

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
