Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
짙은 앰버빛이 잔에 은은하게 어린다. 스카이 섬의 탈리스커 2011년은 리필 호그스헤드에서 5년을 보낸 원액으로, 어린 나이답지 않은 묵직한 개성을 드러낸다. 젖은 석탄과 시가 재의 향에 전나무 리큐어와 쌉싸름한 코코아가 겹치고, 한 모금 머금으면 석탄의 쓴맛과 쓴 오렌지, 바닷소금과 탈리스커 특유의 검은 후추가 46도의 질감으로 퍼진다. 여운은 시가 재와 바닷물의 뉘앙스가 길게 남는다.

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
