Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스카이 섬의 바닷바람을 머금은 탈리스커 1989년 원액이 십오 년을 보낸 SMWS 14번 코드의 보틀링이 잔에 잘 익은 황금빛으로 머금어진다. 향에서 갓 깎은 페퍼와 옅은 피트 그리고 바닷바람 미네랄이 두꺼운 질감으로 흐른다. 입에서는 오십팔 점 육 도의 강도가 짭조름한 훈연과 흰 후추, 크리미한 곡물 단맛으로 풀려간다. 탈리스커 특유의 페퍼리 캐릭터가 끝맛에 깊게 머문다.
AITasting Notes

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
