The BALVENIE 14 Years The Week of Peat 百富 14年 泥煤週 故事系列 (700ml 48.3%) 酒廠經理 Ian Millar以他在艾雷島 (Islay) 旅行中的所見所聞,啟發他復刻百富的泥煤風味。他訂購一批斯貝賽 (Speyside) 泥煤來烘乾麥芽,現在百富每年固定有一週,將會蒸餾出一批泥煤味麥芽,這讓威士忌更富含蜂蜜、香草和柑橘等氣味,另外帶有一抹細緻的煙燻味。 行家報告~ 香氣︰溫和香甜的泥煤煙、清淡花香調性和細緻的奶油糖蜜味。 口感︰絲絨般的圓潤口感佐以泥煤煙燻味,完美平衡了柑橘風味、橡木香草和花蜜氣息。 尾韻︰溫和煙燻風味,帶有久久不散的奶油香草甜味。 |
Eager to experiment with The Balvenie profile using what he had learnt from a recent trip to Islay, distillery manager Ian Millar ordered a batch of Speyside peat for the kiln. For a week a year, The Balvenie distills a batch of peated malt, resulting in a whisky rich in honey, vanilla and citrus notes with an extra layer of delicate smokiness. Tasting Notes~ Nose: Gentle sweet peat smoke, lighter floral notes and delicate butterscotch honey. Palate: Velvety and round to taste with the peat smoke balancing citrus flavours, oaky vanilla and blossom honey. Finish: Gentle smoke with a lingering and creamy vanilla sweetness. |
