Aberlour A'bunadh Batch 53 亞伯樂 雪莉桶原酒 第53批次 (700ml 59.7%) a'bunadh在原意為「原始的風貌」,酒廠取名即意寓回歸到19世紀酒廠創始人James Fleming那時候的製酒風貌,採取不經稀釋也不經冷凝過濾,將最傳統的威士忌呈現給愛好者。在生產a’bundha時,酒廠透過專門的選酒小組,以極嚴格的標準進行選桶,選酒小組每個批次會在Oloroso雪莉桶中進行陳年的原酒中挑出約45~100桶,然後將這先精心挑選出的原酒經過勾兌後裝瓶上市。當中雖然有年輕的酒款,不過畢竟是少數,一般的平均年齡約在12至15年之間。勾兌完成後以cask strength 的方式進行裝瓶,因為如此嚴格的生產方式使得a'bunadh 有著異於Aberlour其他產品的風格及表現方式。 Tasting note~ 色澤:深銅紅光 香氣:濃郁梅洛紅酒,櫻桃,甜苦艾酒,橡樹,薄荷,橘皮 口感:櫻桃木,胡椒香料 ,帶微酸,肉桂,香料,橡木,黑巧克力 尾韻:長且濃郁 |
Aberlour A'bunadh Batch 53~ The name A'Bunadh (which I can never say properly) means "the original." It's intended to take us back to a time where scotch was sold directly from the barrel in the 1800s. Back then, most scotch was aged in ex-sherry barrels. Today, much of the scotch we drink is primarily matured in ex-bourbon barrels. These scotches are lighter with citrus and vanilla notes. A'Bunadh is the opposite. Tasting Note~ Color: Impressive deep bronze / burnished copper appearance Nose: The driest of Merlot, cherries, sweet vermouth. Some oak. Malty. Orange peel. Palate: Cherry wood bomb hit, with peppery spice all the way through the middle and finish. A sour, cinnamon spice middle profile. Oaky dry dark chocolate finish. FINISH: long and rich body finished. |
