BenRiach 19 years Port Hogshead 班瑞克 19年 波特桶 單桶 (700ml 54.6%) 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。 1995年限量版 桶號 : 3613 年份:19年 裝瓶日期:2014年4月 桶型:Port Hogshead 行家報告~ 色澤:桃花心木色 氣味:奶油隱約帶點泥炭,烤麵包穀物,濕羊毛,羊毛脂,乾果,鮮花,漿果 口感:甜甜口感,帶有泥炭,濕羊毛/羊毛脂,餘韻頂級麥芽 尾韻:香草及辛香草,花,中長且帶有平衡 |
BenRiach 19 years Port Hogshead Bottling Note~ 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 1995 Release~ Cask No. 3613 Aged: 19 years Date of Bottling: Apr/2014 Cask Type: Port Hogshead Tasting Note~ Color: Mahogany Nose: Deep copper. Offers restrained aniseed infused peat with buttery, toasty cereal notes becoming more wet-wool/lanolin like after exposure. Some lovely dried berry aromas linger beneath. Palate: A sumptuous palate delivers delicious sweet peat and juicy malt flavors with the wet wool/lanolin characteristics repeating on the finish. Finish: The finish reveals notes of herbs as the lovely floral slowly fades away. Exclusively selected and bottled for Taiwan |
