Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 돌려 향을 깨우면 스카이 섬 탈리스커 특유의 짭조름한 바닷내와 후추 같은 연기가 먼저 솟아오른다. 코를 가까이 하면 셰리 우드가 더한 말린 과일과 옅은 가죽이 훈연 사이로 드러난다. 한 모금 머금으면 18년 숙성한 기름진 질감 위로 검은 후추와 졸인 베리, 소금기가 번진다. 46도로 삼킨 뒤에는 매콤한 연기와 셰리 단맛이 어우러지며 혀끝에 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
indeed, this is beautiful. Extremely coastal with these very fragrant notes of wet rocks, chalk, gorse, seawater, grapefruit and citrus peels. But there’s also a richness and depth which belies the age. Wee notes of salted honey, aged mead, some very gentle, peppery peat smoke and even tinier hints of camphor, tar and hessian. I find it totally superb
restaurant Palate
wonderful arrival! All on tarry peat smoke, black pepper, bandages, brine, smoked olive oil, umami and green peppercorns in brine. Again this sense of maturity, richness and, well, sheer class - kind of like Talisker’s version of Lagavulin 16. Gets increasingly salty and develops this blustery, Atlantic freshness and sharp minerality
timer Finish
good length, peppery, oily, peaty, salty and with some ashes, white pepper and lemon juice
