Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가까이 하면 탈리스커 특유의 후추 같은 매콤함과 짭짤한 바다 내음, 가벼운 훈연이 명확하게 드러난다. 2011년 증류해 6년을 리필 호그스헤드에서 보낸 헵번스 초이스로, 46도가 산뜻한 질감을 만든다. 한 모금에는 어린 기운의 생기 위로 후추와 소금기, 감귤의 산미가 발전하며 스카이 섬 특유의 해양적 캐릭터가 또렷이 드러난다. 피니시는 중간 길이로 매콤한 향신료와 연기가 이어진다. 랭사이드가 고른 영 탈리스커의 활기가 돋보이는 보틀링이다.

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
