Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔 안에 짙은 호박빛이 또렷이 깃든다. 1987년 증류된 탈리스커가 셰리 캐스크에서 스무 해를 보낸 무명 보틀러의 결과물이다. 스카이 섬의 바닷바람이 향에서 짠 훈연과 마른 자두, 옅은 후추로 풀린다. 입에서는 식어가는 모닥불과 흑설탕, 묵직한 후추가 두꺼운 질감으로 흐르고 49.6도의 도수가 단단한 골격을 세운다. 여운에는 짠 연기와 마른 베리가 깊게 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
