Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 탈리스커 특유의 후추 향과 옅은 훈연, 바다 소금이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 스카이 섬의 이 위스키는 1985년에 증류해 버번 캐스크에서 18년을 채운 보틀링으로, 46도의 도수에서 해풍과 미네랄이 또렷하게 드러난다. 팰럿은 알싸한 후추와 시트러스, 가벼운 연기가 단단한 구조감을 만든다. 피니시는 매콤함과 짭조름한 잔향을 길게 남기며 강건하게 마무리된다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
indeed, this is beautiful. Extremely coastal with these very fragrant notes of wet rocks, chalk, gorse, seawater, grapefruit and citrus peels. But there’s also a richness and depth which belies the age. Wee notes of salted honey, aged mead, some very gentle, peppery peat smoke and even tinier hints of camphor, tar and hessian. I find it totally superb
restaurant Palate
wonderful arrival! All on tarry peat smoke, black pepper, bandages, brine, smoked olive oil, umami and green peppercorns in brine. Again this sense of maturity, richness and, well, sheer class - kind of like Talisker’s version of Lagavulin 16. Gets increasingly salty and develops this blustery, Atlantic freshness and sharp minerality
timer Finish
good length, peppery, oily, peaty, salty and with some ashes, white pepper and lemon juice
