Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 축축한 지하실의 석탄과 시가 재, 그을음이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 탈리스커다운 짭짤한 바다 내음과 쌉쌀한 코코아가 뒤따르며 단맛은 거의 없다. 팰럿은 46도로 석탄 같은 쌉쌀함과 전나무 리큐르, 쓴 오렌지, 소금기, 검은 후추가 또렷하게 발전한다. 피니시는 그리 길지 않으나 시가 재와 겐티아나의 여운이 남는다. 2008년 리필 호그스헤드에서 6년을 보낸 헵번스 초이스로, 어린 나이에도 개성이 단단하다.

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
