Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔에는 옅은 호박빛이 잘 흐른다. 스카이 섬 탈리스커에서 1950년대 디스틸러스 에이전시 보틀링으로 8년을 보낸 퓨어 몰트 위스키는 옛 탈리스커의 결을 그대로 간직한 오래된 빈티지다. 향에는 짠 바닷내음, 옅은 모닥불 연기, 마른 풀과 검은 후추의 노트가 또렷이 드러난다. 43도의 절제된 도수가 입안에서 부드러운 피트, 후추, 짠맛의 단단한 균형을 보여준다. 여운은 짠 바닷바람과 옅은 잿내로 오래 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
this is more complex but less phenolic and peaty/smoky, starting more on figs and quinces mixed with a good deal of leather once again. Also quite some old polished wood (right, our old cupboards), some mustard but less than on the G&M, and then a lot of ‘coastal’ notes such as oysters and seaweed. Gets rounder again after a while, with notes of raisin cake and apricot pie, with a subtle but obvious glimmering peat in the background. Wait, that peatiness grows bolder by the minute, to the point where it’s now peatier than the G&M. Amazing development, it juts doesn’t stop changing… Also whiffs of motor oil and brown coal. I’d even say it gets frankly sooty. Another ‘movie-malt’ (as opposed to ‘photo-malts’ that don’t change much). Wait, now we have high-end salami and walnuts! Sounds weird but believe me, ‘s wonderful
restaurant Palate
starts in the same way as on the nose, that is to say more on dried fruits and raisins mixed with liquorice and leathery tones. There’s also a wonderful bitterness (artichokes) and a peat that grows bigger and bigger. There’s a little less salt than in the G&M but I’d still qualify it as ‘very salty’. Other than that it’s all very subtle and complex, with various herbs, teas and spices. Not tired at all despite the old cork
timer Finish
long, as much on salmiak (salty liquorice) as the G&M now, but with more raisins and even a little vanilla. Great aftertaste on cough syrup and smoked tea
