Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 옅은 훈연과 후추, 바다 내음이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 리필 호그스헤드에서 숙성된 탈리스커 2011은 스카이 섬 몰트다운 짭조름한 향과 알싸한 후추가 뚜렷하다. 입에서는 56.7도의 도수가 그을음과 흰 후추, 시트러스를 강하게 발전시키며 구조감이 단단하다. 가벼운 피트 아래 매콤한 스파이스가 또렷하게 균형을 이룬다. 피니시는 후추와 짭조름한 미네랄의 여운이 길게 이어진다.

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
