Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
호그스헤드 캐스크에서 27년을 보낸 시간이 Talisker 1989의 후추스러운 본바디 위에 부드러운 우드의 결을 또렷이 새긴다. 호그스헤드 특유의 영향이 첫 향에서 검은 후추, 짠 해초, 약한 시트러스의 향을 드러내고, 입에는 굵은 바다소금, 식어가는 모닥불 연기, 흑설탕의 풍미가 두꺼운 질감으로 흐른다. 51.6도의 강도가 27년 숙성의 단단한 균형을 또렷이 받친다. 스카이 섬의 거친 캐릭터가 부드럽게 다듬어진 채 깃든다. 여운은 후추와 연기가 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
