Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
옅은 황금빛이 잔 안에서 맑게 빛난다. 스카이 섬의 탈리스커가 1988년 빚어 열두 해를 보낸 옛 보틀링으로, 짭조름한 바다 내음과 가벼운 토탄 연기, 후추의 향이 또렷이 깃든다. 45도의 도수에도 입안에서는 그을린 보리와 해초, 검은 후추의 알싸한 맛이 또렷하게 번진다. 바다 내음과 매콤한 훈연의 여운이 길게 이어진다.

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
