Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 탈리스커 특유의 후추 같은 매운 향과 럼 피니시가 더한 흑설탕 단맛이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 1984년 증류해 24년을 채운 이 위스키 페어 보틀링은 스카이 섬의 해풍 같은 짭조름함이 럼의 당밀과 어우러져 발전한다. 52도의 도수는 팰럿에서 흰 후추와 옅은 훈연, 마른 과일을 또렷하게 밀어올리며 구조감이 단단하다. 피니시는 짭조름한 미네랄과 당밀의 단맛이 깊게 머물러, 빈티지 탈리스커의 개성을 명확하게 드러낸다.

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
