Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 탈리스커 특유의 그을음 같은 훈연과 멘톨, 바닐라, 오렌지 스쿼시가 먼저 두드러진다. 헌터 레잉이 셰리 벗에서 고른 2011 빈티지 8년은 완전한 피트라기보다 부드러운 매연 같은 결을 보여준다. 46도의 팰럿은 단순하지만 달콤한 피트가 잘 작동해, 은은한 후추와 셰리의 단맛이 균형 있게 놓인다. 피니시는 중간 길이로 잘 짜여 이어지며, 후반의 옅은 코코넛과 훈연이 또렷이 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
it’s nice, I have to say. Easy yet clearly Taliskery, that is to say pretty sooty rather than fully peaty, then with some menthol, vanilla, orange squash, and light pepper. Perhaps a little ‘lab’, but really pleasant. Yes, Serge speaking
restaurant Palate
no, really, it’s nice whisky, simple for sure, even a tad binary and relatively emotionless, but this feeling of ‘sweet peat’ really works. Not Talisker to taste, clearly Talisker to drink (drinking being tasting without paying attention, as you know)
timer Finish
medium, easy, well-constructed. Sadly, there’s some coconut towards the aftertaste, never a very good sign in my book, but that’s fine here
