Glenfiddich 26 years 格蘭菲迪 26年 (700ml 43%)~ 再也沒有任何一個形容詞比「萬中選一」更適合做為格蘭菲迪Excellence 26 Year Old的註腳。身為全世界銷售第一的單一純麥威士忌品牌,格蘭菲迪共有28個蒸餾器,年產量一千萬公升以上,而這麼多剛蒸餾出的新酒被分批裝入數以萬計的橡木桶內,經過歲月的考驗後,只有味道最突出的一小批得以被挑選出來,被移到酒窖最得天獨厚的位置繼續吸取橡木桶的精華沉睡,等待首席調酒師Brain Kinsman認為味道達到巔峰的那一刻才被喚醒。而能被冠上「Excellence」之名的威士忌,代表著Brain的最高肯定,背負著酒廠的榮耀而呈現在面前。 行家報告~ 色澤:閃亮的金黃色 嗅感:濃郁的香草香氣及甜香味,時而轉變為花香味、些微淡雅的綠葉清新 口感:柔和的香草太妃糖甜味,有優雅的橡木桶香氣,細緻的香料和甘草。 餘韻:悠長且圓融完整。 |
Glenfiddich Excellence 26 Bottling Note~ The first whisky of this age released by the Glenfiddich distillery, Excellence 26 Year Old is a very special release that was matured exclusively in American oak bourbon barrels for notes of vanilla and spice alongside classic Glenfiddich notes and a vein of oak running right through the middle. Tasting Note~ Nose: Very fruit driven nose. Green fruits with touches of passion fruit backed up with very well judged vanilla. There are floral overtones – Jasmine? Palate: Soft and plush on the palate. Liquorice, vanilla, toffee with cooked spices –nutmeg and cinnamon. Soft old leather and charred pineapple. Finish: Medium to long. Pleasing warmth with some spice from the tannins. |
