Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
셰리 버트에서 9년을 보낸 숙성이 탈리스커의 후추 같은 매운맛에 짙은 단맛을 입혔다. 잔을 코에 가져가면 바닷가 연기와 말린 자두, 검은 후추 향이 차례로 피어오른다. 50도의 도수는 훈제 베이컨과 건포도, 알싸한 칠리의 풍미를 또렷하게 밀어 올린다. 스카이섬 특유의 짭짤한 미네랄이 셰리의 묵직한 단맛과 팽팽히 맞선다. 짙은 호박빛 끝에 그을린 후추와 바다 소금이 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
the modern Distillery Only character is back, the casks must have been pretty active (as the colour confirms), with a combination of zest, smoke, vanilla, ginger and olives. Truth be told, it’s utterly gorgeous, all of it ticking together with the synchronicity of a Formula 1 engine (that should earn me a beer). With water: the candied fruit from the Port does show a little more, but it remains under control, worry not, the distillate stands firm
restaurant Palate
alas, it’s irresistible, a little sweet perhaps but so fabulously smoky and phenolic. Salty zest smoked over fir wood. With water: saps and resins, citrus, salt, green olives, seawater, candied ginger, and green peppercorns
timer Finish
it keeps dancing the same dance for quite a while
