Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
긴 세월이 응축된 짙은 황금빛이 잔 안에서 잔잔히 잠겨 있다. 1977 빈티지의 탈리스커가 스카이 섬 특유의 짭조름한 미네랄과 후추 같은 스파이스, 옅은 훈연을 27년의 시간 위에 우아하게 정제한다. 51.3도 캐스크 스트렝스가 풀바디로 입을 채운다. 코에는 바다 안개, 옅은 피트, 잘 익은 사과가 또렷이 깃들어 있다. 입안에서는 후추, 짠 미네랄, 따뜻한 우드의 결이 한 박자씩 발전한다. 끝자락에 짠 피트가 길게 이어진다.

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
