Caperdonich 35yo 1968 Mission II (46%, Murray McDavid, 600b.)

 

Light Yellow, slow legs, thick.  Vanilla, citrus, very fruity.  A little bit woody.  Typical speyside.  Rich, some hint of flower as well.  Malt sweet at the end.  Apparently it was much better when I tasted it from cask last year in Bruichladdich.(not the same cask but should from similar batch.)  But even dilute to 46%, this one still shows strong body and palate.  Finished extremely long.   Adding water get more flower.  Can’t believe a 35yo malt being so strong.  Score: 90.

Lochside 14yo 1989/2004 (50%, OMC, 331b.)

我真的忘記是誰給我的, 麻煩舉一下手! Light yellow.  Fresh fruit.  Grass.  Nuty. Wood.  Hint of flower.  Getting better as time goes by.  But not my style.  Finished long.  Light body.  Score: 82.  Serge, Olivier and Luc all gave this one higher than 90.  But I checked again, make sure I won’t change my score.

Brown Sherry Cask. Heavily sherried. Should be the Macallan 1981Gran Reserva I asked earlier. I later confirmed it's true. should say thank you to 仕元 again. Not as Strong as 1979 More mild and simple. Lot's of dried fruit. Need to add water to get the detail. I think the 1979 Gran Reserva is better. Score:85.

Yamazaki NAS (40%, OB, 300ml, for distillery visitor only, bottle no#074717)
這支酒有非常迷人的香氣, 初聞就非常的驚艷, 以清新果香做為主體, 淚腳的感覺很油, 可以感覺到低度泥煤的感覺, 入口感覺年輕, 尾韻弱, 稍微有點不協調的失落感! 可能有少量的雪利桶成分, 些微的梅子感覺. 79分. (Matt:80, Kanne:80, SUSC:78, Man in the Mirror: 74, Brian詹: 78, House:80)

Bunnahabhain 不愧有老船長的暱稱, 海風味是很有趣的酒廠特色, 把手裏拿到的酒重新安排了一下, 下午做了這間酒廠的垂直品飲, 很有趣!

Black Bottle 10yo 40%
如印象中的好, 頗複雜, 很有層次的果香及麥芽香, 雖然是輕度泥煤, 反而比其他的Bunnahabhain來得重些, 80分.

這次難得有機會能夠跟原廠的品牌大使Ian Millar 一塊垂直品飲Glenfiddich 這間全世界銷售最佳的Single Malt.  Ian Millar 1971年開始工作的酒廠是Blair Athol Distillery 他從各個階段的製造學起, 最後成為酒廠經理!  接下來一直到1998年間, 他一直在Diegeo 旗下的各間酒廠如: Bladnoch, Mortlach, Glen Elgin, Linkwood, Blair Athol and Dalwhinnie 間輪調, 然後才被William Grant & Sons 集團(擁有Balvenie, Glenfiddich and Kininvie 三間單一麥芽酒廠) 聘請擔任集團總理製程職務.  目前除了仍然負責部份製造管理外, 也兼任Glenfiddich 的品牌大使職務

幾件有關Glenfiddich的事情:

July 19, 2005  Edinburgh

Our original plan was to go our as early as we can.  But it seems everybody was quite tired, we didn’t get out until 10:30.  We took the sightseeing bus around the city and left at the Edinburgh Castle before noon for the 1 o’clock canon firing.  It is said to be a tradition for the sailors to check the time.  Edinburgh Castle is full of tourists.  We looks around for a while, the kids are happy but do not really interested at the museum inside.
