Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
비공식 보틀링명 헤브리데스 뒤에 자리한 1972년 탈리스커가 28년의 시간을 머금어 스카이 섬의 짭조름한 바람을 잔에 풀어 놓는다. 짙은 호박빛이 잔에 따스하게 비친다. 향에서는 옅은 훈연과 짭짤한 미네랄, 흰 후추가 또렷이 깃들어 있고 광나무 꿀이 뒤따른다. 입에서는 잿불과 마멀레이드의 새콤한 단맛, 정향이 미끄러지듯 흐른다. 53.2도의 단단한 알코올이 흩어지지 않고 옛 시대 탈리스커 특유의 묵직한 결이 길게 잠겨 있다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
chestnut
air Nose
like nosing a mahogany smoothie! Seriously this is some kind of interstellar, galactic collision of rare hardwoods, wood treatment oils, ancient jumbled workshops, hessian sackcloth, the finest coffee beans, liquefied peat, engine oil, dark crystalised fruits and Dundee cake studded with glazed walnuts, pecans and Brazil nuts. You can also include teas such as darjeeling, earl grey, mint, chamomile and lapsang souchong. There’s preserved lemons, mint julep, ancient dark rum, soft brown sugars, bitter chocolates, wild mushrooms, black cherries, balsamic, walnut wine and an ocean of rancio. Ridiculous whisky and almost embarrassing to write notes for. The kind of whisky that the anti-maltoporn brigade exists to protect us all against. Speaking of which, where the fuck are you guys?! With water: sharper, saltier, fattier, like frying bacon, ointments, toasted nuts, pure peat and black pepper. Seriously, where is the anti-maltoporn brigade?
restaurant Palate
leathery, salty, peaty, waxy, liquorice-laden, spicy, darkly fruited perfection! The bitterest chocolate, the purest, saltiest, punchiest rancio. Thick, sappy, oily, peppery, immense and utterly thrilling! Like drinking a 1936 Martin D-45 acoustic! With water: I think we’ll have to censor the rest or we’ll just be here all day and I’ll lose my shit beyond all reasonable hope of redemption
timer Finish
pretty much as endless, complex and poetic as you may imagine from all my gushing nonsense above
