Macallan Edition No.1 麥卡倫 2015年度限量 Editon No.1 木盒版 (700ml 48%) 麥卡倫釀酒大師Bob Dalgarno為EDITION NO.1精挑細選出來的橡木桶,種類範圍非一般酒款所能比擬,充分展現威士忌釀造藝術的精華。對他而言,這些橡木桶的組合述說的是一個情節豐富、角色生動的動人故事。首先是橡木的原產地,接著是專業的橡木桶製作技藝,以及桶身尺寸與潤桶酒液的選擇。因為有了這些變化多端的元素,才使得精選出來的橡木桶能夠熟成出層次豐富、風味香醇的EDITION NO.1。 行家報告~ 色澤:蜂蜜色。 氣味:果園,柳橙,乾果,蘋果香氛,活力十足且香醇馥郁,香草,太妃糖,巧克力。 口感:口感溫暖香潤,木質香氛,肉桂,荳蔻,乾薑,太妃糖香,果香清新,橡木。 尾韻:柔和而綿長。 |
Macallan Edition No.1 Bottling Note~ Joining Macallan's stream of recent NAS bottlings is "Edition No. 1", targeted towards the U.S. market, and reportedly drawn from eight distinct European and American oak cask styles and sizes. Naturally coloured and bottled at 48% ABV (unusual for Macallan), the actual cask regime has been stated too: First-fill casks consisted of Tevasa Butts, Toneleria Hudo Butts, Vasyma Puncheons, J&M Martin Butts, Gonzalez Byass Butts and Tevasa Puncheons. The second-fill casks were Sherry hogsheads and Sherry butts. The only casks that used American White Oak were the Vasyma Puncheons, whereas the rest used European Oak. Some tasters have described the whisky as "a big step up" from Macallan's standard 1824 range. Tasting Note~ Color: Light Amber. Nose: Hints of orange, apple and dried fruit on the nose, leading into wood. Palate: Spices on the palate supported by nutmeg, cinnamon and hints of dried ginger and toffee and a medium. Finish: Long and lingering finish. |
