Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가볍게 흔들면 1989년 빈티지 스카이 섬 탈리스커 15년의 옅은 황금빛이 잔 안쪽을 미끄러진다. 잔을 코끝에 가져가면 탈리스커 특유의 강한 후추 노트와 옅은 피트 연기, 짭조름한 바닷내가 차례로 인사한다. 한 모금을 머금으면 59.9%의 캐스크 스트렝스가 입안에서 강한 후추와 식어가는 모닥불, 옅은 시리얼의 결로 풀려나간다. 삼킨 뒤에도 탈리스커의 매운 후추 잔향이 입천장에 오래 머문다.

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
