The BALVENIE 10 years Founder's Reserve 百富 10年 (1000ml 43%) Founder's Reserve 是一款經典的 10 年單一麥芽蘇格蘭威士忌,是由首席調酒師大衛史都華從波本桶和雪莉桶中,精選熟成的單一純麥威士忌混合而成。此款酒從 1980 年初期就是百富家族的一員,目前已經停產。但百富酒廠仍舊保存傳統的威士忌製作技藝,並維持舊有傳統不斷開發全新的風味、年份和口感。因此,該是讓這位老朋友功成身退了。聞香充滿濃郁及多層次的蜂蜜與柑橘味,並帶有一絲泥煤味。其口感可品嚐到飽滿的蜂蜜甘甜、清新的辛辣味,與一絲雪莉酒的果香。餘韻悠長,並帶有令人愉悅的濃郁感。 行家報告~ 色澤:淡金色 氣味:橡木,蜂蜜,花香,高級麥芽的複雜性。 口感:蜂蜜的圓潤,融合橙蜜 尾韻:中,回甘,圓潤,有趣的是它的滋味 |
The BALVENIE 10 years Founder's Reserve Bottling Note~ Sister distillery to the famous Glenfiddich, Balvenie lies at the heart of Scotch whisky country in the Scottish Highlands. In early 1892 work began to convert the eighteenth century mansion into a distillery. The building took fourteen months to complete with the first distillation taking place on 1st May, 1893. Little has altered over the years and the Balvenie distillery is still firmly rooted in the past. The peat used is hand cut locally, dried and seasoned before being used to fuel the malt kiln. Attached to the distillery is a one thousand acre farm, Balvenie Mains, which provides the barley used to make the whisky. Balvenie has four pairs of stills which are taller than those of Glenfiddich, so the whisky is still different in style despite the two distilleries proximity to one another. Casks from various parts of the world are employed: Bourbon barrels of American oak; butts made of European oak bought from the Bodegas of Spain in which rich oloroso sherries have been matured, and 'Port pipes' from Portugal. Tasting Note~ Color: Pale gold Nose: true complexity of this malt. Its aged oak, honeyed bouquet dominates on the nose. Palate:On the palate, the honey character continues through to a big, round orange-honey climax. Finish: dry, long and warming. Remarkably mellow. A most distinctive and interesting malt. |
