Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 짠 미네랄과 가벼운 토탄 연기가 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 탈리스커의 1987 빈티지 23년 숙성에 세컨드필 셰리 호그스헤드의 절제된 영향이 명확하게 드러나며 54.4도 ABV의 균형이 단단하다. 팰럿에서는 흑후추와 가죽, 마른 무화과가 발전하고 아일 오브 스카이의 짠 풍토가 또렷이 깃들어 있다. 피니시는 훈연과 마른 향신료가 길게 이어지며 구조감이 견고하다. 로열 마일 위스키즈의 분석적 정확도가 분명한 빈티지 보틀링이다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
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
