Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스카이 섬의 거센 파도와 화산암 해안이 탈리스커의 거친 후추 풍미를 빚어낸다. 버번 캐스크에서 5년을 보낸 2008년 빈티지가 잔에 옅은 밀짚빛을 띤다. 코에는 짭조름한 바다 향과 옅은 피트 연기, 시트러스가 선명하게 올라온다. 59도의 입에서는 탈리스커 특유의 후추 같은 매운맛과 훈연, 소금기가 강하게 흐른다. 젊은 패기 속에 바닷바람의 미네랄이 화끈한 여운으로 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes

air Nose
pretty much zero doubt, unless someone slightly unhinged has entirely re-dressed a very old Talisker from G&M or BB&R, which would make little sense. In short, it is very much on an old heap of coal at the back of a slightly damp cellar, with cigar ashes, saltpetre, soot, old liqueurs made from buds, chiefly fir, and bitter cocoa from the sherry. Not a gram of sweetness, everything is dry as a truncheon blow. We rather like this. Let us see whether the palate is a little tired, which, all things considered, would almost be good news. You see what we mean
restaurant Palate
we find the bitterness again, the coal-like side, but also those old fir liqueurs, this time joined by bitter orange. The coastal side is well present too this time, with salt but also Talisker’s proverbial black pepper. If this is not old Talisker, it is devilishly well imitated
timer Finish
not very long, of course, but the cigar ashes return, ashes that we might have extinguished by dousing them with a little seawater, then with gentian eau-de-vie, what an idea
