Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
셰리 버트 마무리가 어린 7년 숙성의 탈리스커에 과실 단맛을 더하면서도 본연의 힘을 살렸다. 스카이 섬 증류소다운 후추 같은 스모크 위로 셰리의 건과일과 짭조름한 미네랄이 겹쳐 오른다. 56.2도의 힘이 입안에서 그을린 자두와 흑후추, 바닷소금을 단단하게 끌고 간다. 짙은 호박빛 뒤로 매콤한 스모크와 셰리 단맛의 여운이 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
