Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
리필 셰리 호그스헤드에서 22년의 시간이 빚은 풍미가 향의 첫머리부터 또렷이 드러난다. 노즈는 탈리스커 특유의 짭조름한 해풍과 검은 후추, 옅은 훈연이 두드러지고 입을 채우면 64.3도의 캐스크 스트렝스가 진한 후추와 짠 캐러멜, 농축된 자두를 두꺼운 질감으로 흐르게 한다. 스카이 섬의 거친 캐릭터가 깊게 머문다. 짙은 호박빛이 잔에 비친다.

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
