AULTMORE Aged 12 years 雅墨 12年 (700ml 46%)~ 產自多霧神秘的純淨溪流。 新鮮帶有朝露的鮮苔,伴隨著細緻的花香撲鼻而來。香甜的酒液如同隱蔽在林間的小徑,感受到漫步其中所聞到新鮮的草地及野生香草的香味。 斯貝塞區最神秘的產區 - “Foggie Moss” 擁有得天獨厚,經過石楠花與岩盤層層過濾的純淨湧泉,因此,這裡曾經是著名的私酒釀造地。此產地也正如其名,意指”潮濕、多霧“的地方,讓私酒商得以隱藏在林間霧中進行交易。 雅墨威士忌蒸餾場建立於1897年,其最初創立的目的並非朝商業化前進,而是專心於釀造高品質的威士忌純麥基酒,來供應給調和式威士忌使用。經過百年琢磨,雅墨威士忌已被列為特等原酒供應商的一員,而蘇格蘭也僅有12間蒸餾場獲得此殊榮。 由於雅墨威士忌產量低,且原酒常供不應求,百年來僅有少數的限量版與獨立裝瓶廠曾推出雅墨單一純麥威士忌。即便在蘇格蘭當地也僅能在少數酒吧尋獲。 |
AULTMORE Aged 12 years Bottling Note~ 12 year old Aultmore single malt Scotch whisky, unveiled in 2014 for the Last Great Malts by Dewar's. A refreshing dram, with plenty of vanilla, honey and citrus, alongside a touch of grassiness. It's been quite a while since a distillery bottling of Aultmore has been released, so this is all rather exciting indeed. Aultmore is located in Keith, Banffshire. Its name is a derived from the phrase 'An t-Allt Mòr'', Gaelic for big burn, referring to its water source, the Auchinderran burn. It was founded in 1895 by Alexander Edward, then owner of the Benrinnes distillery. In 1998, after a patchy history, the distillery was sold to Bacardi subsidiary, Dewars, which had previously owned Aultmore between 1923 and 1925. Aultmore produced their first official bottling, a 12 year old, in 2004. The house style is typically light and fruity with most of the wood employed being American oak. Tasting Note~ Color: Pale gold with Minor sediment. Nose:Ripe pear and apple tart followed by hints of hay; the aroma is partly obscured by the tingly spirit lift. Almost the concentration of a cask strength with big beefy malt and a peppery attack. Palate: A little thin and acidic towards the finish, but nice underlying drier styled malt peeks through. Some light water biscuit and dried grass notes in the aftertaste. |
