Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
버번 캐스크에서 18년을 보낸 시간이 스카이 섬 탈리스커의 후추 같은 매콤함을 한결 둥글게 다듬었다. 코에는 옅은 훈연 위로 레몬과 바닷내, 검은 후추가 산뜻하게 겹친다. 입에서는 꿀과 시트러스의 단맛 사이로 특유의 화한 후추와 짠맛이 46도의 힘을 타고 또렷하게 번진다. 밝은 황금빛의 이 보틀링은 해풍과 향신료의 여운을 길고 깔끔하게 남긴다.
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
