Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스카이 섬 칼보스트 항구의 거센 바닷바람과 후추 같은 해풍이 탈리스커의 정체성이다. 리필 셰리 호그스헤드에서 25년을 보낸 1975년 빈티지답게 짙은 호박빛이 잔에 잠겨 있다. 향에서는 짠 캐러멜과 마른 후추, 옅은 훈향, 약한 해초의 노트가 두드러진다. 입에서는 흑후추와 짠 캐러멜, 풀바디 피트 연기가 묵직하게 입을 채운다. 55도의 도수는 탈리스커 특유의 매콤한 바닷내와 잘 어울리고 균형이 단단하다. 여운에는 훈향과 후추가 길게 발전한다.

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
