BRUICHLADDICH Octomore Edition 07.4 布萊迪 奧特摩 07.4 超重泥煤 (700ml 61.2%) 在被喻為是「威士忌酒界傳奇」的Jim McEwan於去年退休後,布萊迪酒廠目前已由Jim McEwan的兩位嫡傳弟子擔當大任,分別是出身艾雷島釀酒世家第四代的生產營運總監Allan Logan,以及同樣具艾雷島背景,且從最基層的倉庫管理員開始陸續擔任過布萊迪各種工作的首席蒸餾師Adam Hannett,將布萊迪酒廠獨樹一門的風味持續發揚光大,共同挑戰非常難以駕馭的全新橡木桶,泥煤含量仍是保有超重泥煤169ppm的強勁風味,酒液皆來自全新酒桶熟成,「奧特摩07.4全新橡木桶」就在這樣的堅持下光輝誕生,向世人完美詮釋了布萊迪高超製酒技藝之傳承與創新,讓這股源自艾雷島的原粹精神繼續寫下斬新篇章。 原始原味造就奧特摩充滿泥煤風味的獨特酒液,酒液裡相當強烈且薰中帶甜的香氣,和諧地融合初釀橡木桶所帶來豐富強烈的乾果、杏桃、松木與香草等香氣,輕啜一口,感受一股醇厚隨興帶點溫暖的力道,檸檬皮、異國椰香、橙花蜂蜜及肉桂的微微甜辣滋味,與帶有濃厚的橡樹緩和的風味交織迴盪,完全是一場令人難以忘懷的艾雷島舞台劇。 |
BRUICHLADDICH Octomore Edition 07.4 Bottling Note~ An early 2016 release of Bruichladdich's extremely peaty Octomore series. Octomore 07.4 has endured quite an interesting maturation - 25% of it was aged entirely in virgin oak casks, while 75% of it spent 3 years in first fill bourbon casks, followed by 2 years in virgin oak casks and then 2 more years in first fill bourbon casks. Tasting Note~ Nose: Chewy raisins, flamed orange peel, BBQ char and sweet smoke. Intensely oak-y, too. Palate: Oodles of peat smoke, carried along by citrus peels, honey and ground spices. Finish: A lasting floral sweetness balanced by rich oak warmth. |
