BenRiach 35 years Peated Single Cask 班瑞克 35年 泥煤桶 單桶 (700ml 54.9%) 集團勢力龐大的蘇格蘭斯佩塞區,擁有經營自主權的獨立蒸餾廠極為少數。也由於沒有包袱,這樣的蒸餾廠更能專注在酒款品質,傳達蒸餾師與調酒師的製酒理念及熱忱。 班瑞克於1898年建廠,不滿兩年即遭最大客戶倒帳後關廠長達65年;1965年重新啟動後,一直隱身在調合威士忌中,直到2004年由享有「天下第一鼻」的威士忌大師Billy Walker與友人合資,自Chivas Brothers手中買下後才開始快速竄紅,並在2007、2009年兩度獲得「全球風雲蒸餾廠」殊榮。其酒款系列眾多,除展現傳統風貌的經典系列、囊括知名葡萄酒桶的換桶系列、頂級限量的單一原桶系列外,他同時也是目前全斯佩塞區唯一有能力生產泥煤威士忌的酒廠,所產泥煤系列品質堪與艾雷島匹敵,可以說是建廠百多年之後才開始成名的多樣風格蒸餾廠。 BenRiach 高品質斯佩塞單一麥芽威士忌,這款 35年泥煤的單一麥芽蘇格蘭威士忌帶來的令人垂涎的熱帶水果,黑巧克力,太妃奶糖,糖漿和熱帶地區橡木所釋放出香料的韻味再融合煙燻泥煤桶的高層次口感。 1976年限量版 桶號: 8804 年份:35年 裝瓶日期 : 2012年 7月 木桶類型:Hogshead 行家報告~ 色澤:淡金色 氣味:煙燻並伴隨白胡椒,鳳梨,芒果和一種印度淡淡酸辣醬氣息 口感:果味仍然明顯,木瓜,香瓜,薑,香草,融合泥煤炭烤煙燻 尾韻:長,多種辛香料香草,美麗泥炭尾韻慢慢淡去 |
BenRiach 35 years Peated Single Cask Rather unjustly, Benriach was, until just a few years ago, relatively unknown, but it hasn’t ceased to make up for lost time. Indeed, this distillery has, for many decades, had a huge amount to offer and has proven this time and time again since being bought in 2004. Its warehouses are bursting with all sorts of sherry butts (Oloroso, Pedro Ximénez, etc.), new American oak casks, ex-bourbon barrels and hogsheads dating back to the 1960s, as well as casks previously used for wine, rum, madeira, port and even Rioja! This Speyside single malt is entirely worthy of the interest it has garnered from master blenders since its creation. Limited 1976 Release Cask No. 8804 Aged: 35 years Date of Bottling: July/2012 Cask Type: Hogshead Tasting Note~ Color: Pale Gold Nose: On the nose, the smoke is ever present and accompanied by notes of white pepper, pineapple, mango and a hint of chutney. Palate: On the palate, the fruit is still present (papaya, melon) and notes of ginger and vanilla are combined with ambient peat. Finish: The finish reveals notes of herbs as the beautiful peat slowly fades away. |
