Auchentoshan Virgin Oak Limited Release 歐肯特軒 處女桶 限量版 (700ml 46%) 蘇格蘭威士忌酒廠歐肯特宣(Auchentoshan)要挑戰威士忌傳統信念,發表熟成於北美全新橡木桶Virgin Oak之威士忌酒款。隸屬於Morrison Bowmore集團的歐肯特軒,是蘇格蘭唯一採用三次蒸餾的威士忌酒廠,內部燒黑的波本桶和雪莉桶做熟成。 歐肯特軒品牌大使Gordon Dundas表示:「歐肯特宣示少數生產Virgin Oak單一純麥威士忌的酒廠,三次蒸餾的新酒非常適合汲取炭化Virgin Oak酒桶的特有風味。」 Gordon Dundas提及:「該酒款自然展現低地威士忌的特質,微妙並充滿複雜性,每一次品味都可以捕捉到新的滋味,我想這款酒款能夠破除許多威士忌熟成迷思。」 歐肯特軒Virgin Oak具有木質香料和柑橘的甜美氣息,酒精濃度為46%,具有厚實的口感,採以非冷凝過濾。 |
Auchentoshan Virgin Oak Limited Release Bottling Note~ Auchentoshan distillery is located in Clydebank, in the heart of the Lowlands whisky region. Placed in brand new oak casks right from the start, Auchentoshan threw the dice and won with their new Virgin Oak release. Instead of maturing in a cask that previous held sherry or bourbon, like most whiskies are, they did something different and have luckily created something stunning. Auchentoshan employ a triple distillation method, an unusual process which sees the spirit enter the cask at a staggering 82% Alcohol by volume. After maturation and bottling, the whiskies are typically light, fruity and pristinely balanced. In simple terms, they're dangerously drinkable and offer the devoted whisky drinker a 'go to' malt for warmer weather and the gift buyer an ideal choice when unsure about someone's whisky preferences. Tasting Note~ Color: Pale gold with Minor sediment. Nose: Pockets of spicy nutmeg float upon a calming vanilla. Palate: A fruitiness follows on the vanilla sea alongside the nutmeg. Orange buoys bob up and down, sharp and fresh. Finish:A flock of seagulls made of brown sugar flutter by, completing the picturesque scene perfectly. |
