LAPHROAIG Quarter Cask 拉佛格 1/4桶精釀 (700ml 48%)~ 擁有重口味的艾雷島威士忌之王稱號的「拉佛格單一麥芽威士忌」,曾被英國查爾斯王子讚譽為世界最好的威士忌。早在1810年其創辦人便開始生產威士忌,於1815年正式登記此品牌。 單一麥芽威士忌四大產區主要集中在蘇格蘭北部,唯一不在本島的一區便是艾雷島Islay Island,相對於蘇格蘭本島產的威士忌,艾雷島出產的威士忌,其所處水源地的水質非常柔軟,充滿泥煤味以及稀少礦物雜質成分的純淨帶有一絲甜味口感,被認為是製造威士忌的最佳水源,因此造就拉佛格單一麥芽威士忌截然不同的強烈口感。 行家報告~ 顏色:明亮的金黃色 香氣:初嚐時可感受到明顯強勁的煙燻泥煤味、隨後轉為圓潤柔軟的椰子乳脂芬芳 口感:強烈的煙燻泥煤芳香結合輕柔乳脂圓滑的口感,帶有少許鹹味 尾韻:不甜而綿長 |
Laphroaig Quarter Cask Bottling Note~ Released in 2004, this bottling was aged for around five years before being finished in a quarter cask for several months, the size of the cask is quite small, thus does not require such a long maturation. This remains a truly great achievement from Laphroaig. Tasting Note~ Nose: Oily and buttery nose, with toffee, nuttiness, hickory, bicarbonate of soda, rum and raisin ice cream and zest. Palate: Big rush of sweetness, in fact it’s an explosion of sweetness, with fiery chilli heat, TCP, sweet cereals and a touch of cola syrup. Finish: Medium length, but becomes fruity, with custard and cigar smoke. |
