Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 1989년 탈리스커가 고르다 캐스크에서 15년을 보내며 도달한 짭조름한 미네랄, 옅은 훈제, 검은 후추의 향이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 팰럿은 59.4도의 캐스크 스트렝스에서 스카이의 탈리스커 특유의 짠 피트와 강한 후추 캐릭터가 균형 있게 발전한다. 보리의 단맛과 옅은 미네랄의 비터가 명확하게 드러나며 구조감이 단단하게 잡혀 있다. SMWS 14.9가 잡아낸 1989년 탈리스커의 또렷한 본성이 깊게 머문다. 피니시는 매우 길고 옅은 잿내와 후추가 입천장에 깊게 머문다.

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
