Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 1987년 탈리스커의 후추 같은 향신료와 옅은 훈연이 또렷하게 두드러진다. 스카이 섬 증류소답게 짭조름한 바닷내음과 시트러스, 그을음이 명확하게 발전한다. 51도의 입질에서는 후추와 꿀, 부드러운 스모크가 균형 있게 깔린다. 중반으로 갈수록 미네랄의 짠맛과 향신료의 결이 또렷해진다. 섬 증류소다운 단단한 구조감 속에, 피니시는 후추와 바다내음이 길고 깊게 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
