GLENROTHES 1978 30 years 格蘭路思 1978 30年 (700ml 43%) 1978年份的Glenrothes,是酒廠的最新創舉,而且極為稀有。幾乎可以確定的是Glenrothes最後的一批七零年份威士忌。他結合了少數種類的酒桶,由威士忌大師John Ramsay親手挑選調配,並選在桶酒最成熟度最顛峰的時間取出製成。 上一批的1978年份是在1999年發表,並在短時間之內銷售一空。因為Glenrothes 一慣的釀造風格,威士忌大師John Ramsay在1999年時,只選用了當時在成熟度顛峰期的桶酒來做調配裝瓶。這次的二度裝瓶,是選用在1999年時尚未純熟的桶酒。 因為威士忌本身的風味有60% - 80%來自於橡木桶的味道,沈浸的時間長短可以決定威士忌的風味。因此,這一批1978年份的單一純麥威士忌比起1999年裝批的第一批,略帶不同的風味口感,卻又不失原本蒸餾廠就賦予的特色。Glenrothes 1978年曾被WWA2008譽為最佳的斯貝塞區單一純麥威士忌。 行家報告~ 色澤: 深金色、晶透明亮 香氣: 美好濃郁又成熟的香草、堅果及少許柑橘及檸檬香 口感: 濃郁、貴妃焦糖、黑巧克力、堅果、葡萄柚 餘韻: 延醞、格蘭路思的中度甘口 |
