BenRiach 19 years Sherry Butt 班瑞克 19年 雪莉桶 單桶 (700ml 57.9%) 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。 1995年限量版 桶號 : 15904 年份:19年 裝瓶日期 : 2014年3月 桶型:Refill Sherry Butt 行家報告~ 色澤:金色 氣味:集中咖啡,果仁,泥炭,茶葉,雪利酒的乾,泥炭,苦巧克力,野生蘑菇,苔蘚,蕨類植物的香氣 口感:甜美金桔,蜂膠,橡樹,橡膠,濃茶,苦巧克力,帶點酒體與酒桶的澀 尾韻:綿長,濃香 |
BenRiach 19 years Sherry Butt 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. 15904 Aged: 19 years Date of Bottling: Mar/2014 Cask Type: Refill Sherry Butt Tasting Note~ Color: Gold Nose:this one starts concentrated, powerful, assertive… Beautifully peaty behind the coffee and the praline. notes of smoked tea a.The sherry’s dry and complements the peat quite perfectly – it’s almost like peppered bitter chocolate like they make in Spain. Just a bit of wildness (wild mushrooms, moss, fern) aroma. Palate: a sweet and powerful attack on kumquats, with a growing bitterness (propolis, chlorophyll) and quite some oak. Very pleasant if you like that style. ‘Good’ rubber, strong un-sugared tea, bitter chocolate again. Finish: Huge concentrated – acceptable, neat and long balance finish. A little extreme but well made. Exclusively selected and bottled for Taiwan. |
