KILCHOMAN MACHIR BAY 齊侯門 馬希爾海灘 (700ml 46%) 齊侯門於2005年12月創立,為蘇格蘭最小的經典蒸餾廠之一,是艾雷島自1881年來首間新建的酒廠。Machir Bay鄰近齊侯門蒸餾廠,是艾雷島上最美麗的海灘之一。馬希爾海灘使用3年、4年、5年酒齡的威士忌一起製成,在波本桶內進行熟成,最後收尾於oloroso雪莉butt桶熟成8週,獨特結合了甜美、果香、煙燻等氣息。 行家報告~ 色澤:淺稻金色 香氣:強悍的泥煤味裡飄出一陣綜合水果的香氣 口感:濃郁的熱帶水果味及隱約香草味中帶著明顯、清鮮而複雜的甜味 尾韻:中長,很新鮮、很泥煤的感覺遲遲不退 |
KILCHOMAN MACHIR BAY Bottle Description~ Beginning production in December 2005, this miniscule operation (one of Scotland’s smallest) is the first distillery to be built on Islay for over 120 years. 'Machir Bay' is the first general release from this upstart and is a vatting of 3, 4 and 5 year old whiskies, matured in fresh bourbon barrels and finished in oloroso sherry butts for 8 weeks. Anthony Wills, Managing Director of Kilchoman adds “Machir Bay is one of the most beautiful beaches on Islay, close to the distillery. This expression will give continuity of supply to customers around the world. Each year we will add more mature malt to the vatting.” The house style tends towards a sweet, fruity and smoky malt. Tasting note~ Color: Pale straw Nose:Powerful opening peat, brine and white pepper, hints of ripe citrus peel, fruit, nut, chocolate ,typically complex. Palate:The palate is drier than the nose, excellent concentration and lively spices. Citrus peel and dried fruit compete with lanolin and brine. Terrific balance. Finish: Mid Long, fresh, tangy, mildly peppery with a subtle kipper aftertaste. |
