Ardbeg Uigeadail 雅柏 烏嘎爹 (700ml 54.2%) Ardbeg Uigeadail每個版本皆由不同的Ardbeg 70年代(73~76年份)老酒去勾兌,每個瓶身所示L數字僅代表年度版本非批次,如果細分甚至可查出每個L年度不同批次銷往不同的國家,當然其他包括TEN等商品系列都能查閱出來,根據Mr. Bill Lumsden博士說明Ardbeg Uigeadail每年度約生產四~五個批次,不同年度批次所勾兌出來的口感皆略有不同,早期的版本風格較為內斂穩重,近期的版本風格則較為華麗奔放,版本之間各有巧妙不可言喻之處,我想這就是調酒師想要呈現Uigeadail最耐人尋味的風味及其代表的酒廠精神吧! 每個時期的單一麥芽威士忌喝起來如果都一模一樣,恐怕就失去喝單一麥芽威士忌的趣味了。至於哪版好喝哪版值得收藏,這個答案就看各位喜愛的風格而定囉!! 行家報告~ 香氣 : 海風、泥煤、藻味、乳脂、香草、堅果。 口味 : 乳脂、泥煤、香草、堅果、奶油爆米花、柑橘,Medium Body。 餘味 : 中~長,烤麵包、柑橘。 得獎紀錄~ 2016年 SFWSC Gold Medal 舊金山世界烈酒大賽 金牌 2016年 WWA Gold Medal 世界威士忌競賽 金牌 |
Ardbeg Uigeadail Bottling Note~ Uigeadail derives from the Scotch Gaelic for 'Dark and Mysterious Place' and is named for the Loch from whence Ardbeg draws its waters. Jim Murray's 2009 World Whisky of the Year, this cask-strength bottle exudes breathtaking balance. Tasting Note~ Nose: Multifaceted, notes of peat and little flourishes of dark sugar, freshly ground espresso beans, cereal notes and a most sophisticated tar. Palate: Led by sweet, ripe fruit and black forest honey. A good helping of malt. The throne then usurped by a powerful peat and smoked barley. Finish: Very long, caramel and malt weave their way through peat smoke and dark sugar and just a hint of fresh espresso coffee before it finally peters out. Overall: Such deft balance! How wonderful to sample Ardbeg so beautifully complimented by sherry. |
