Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 탈리스커 특유의 후추 같은 스파이스와 옅은 훈연, 바닷바람이 두드러진다. 2011년 셰리 부트에서 11년을 보낸 만큼 건포도와 미네랄, 짭조름한 소금기가 발전한다. 팰럿은 50도의 도수 위로 매운 후추와 셰리 단맛, 훈연이 단단한 균형을 이룬다. 피니시는 짭짤한 소금기와 후추의 매운 기운이 길고 또렷하게 이어진다.

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
