MACALLAN 18 years 1982 麥卡倫 18年 1982 稀有典藏 (750ml 43%) 收藏家等級,該酒廠的斯佩塞鼎盛時期最具代表性的18年單一麥芽威士忌,品牌愛好者應該清楚麥卡倫在80年代初建立了它的聲譽,強調濃郁酒體的傳統做法 - 100%雪利酒成熟,和主要使用一種特殊的大麥品種叫“Golden Promise”。現在已經很少使用,尤其在成本及時間都須加倍投入的情況下,但當時也是傳統麥卡倫如獲至寶的帶出豐富的堅果味道的主因。 行家報告~ 色澤:黃色。 氣味:香氣十足雪利酒,濃郁巧克力,辛香料回甘,葡萄乾,燻李子,燻肉,些許培根及煙燻火腿,經典完美平衡。 口感:典型期望從舊雪莉麥卡倫口感,李子,微薄荷,辛香料,摩卡巧克力,葡萄乾,頂級木桶韻味。 尾韻:很長,塗料漆,濃厚扎實的口感與細韻“麥卡倫”,1980-1989期間的CP極高,值得一試。 |
MACALLAN 18 years 1982 Bottling Note~ This is a collector's opportunity to secure one of Speyside’s most iconic single malts from the heyday of this distillery: 18 year old Macallan in full-on sherried form. Purists should note - Macallan built its reputation during the early 1980s and ‘90s in large part by emphasising hard line traditional practises - 100% Sherry maturation and a predominant use of a special variety of barley called “Golden Promise”, now rarely used, but traditionally highly prized for its rich, nutty flavour. Macallan last used its original ratio of Golden Promise barley in 1993. The taste of ‘true’ Macallan may not be had for much longer at any price! Tasting Note~ Color: Amber Nose: much more sherry here. It’s also more chocolaty, dry, raisiny, with notes of prunes and, well, sherry. Also a little bacon and smoked ham. Totally classic and perfectly balanced but not entrancing, I’d say. Palate: Typical, that is to say very good. All what you’d expect from an old-style sherried Macallan: the prunes again, the slight mintiness, the chocolate, the raisins... and so on. Also a better body than the present one. Finish: Very long, coating, almost thick and very ‘Macallan’. |
