威士忌個人單一桶裝瓶的意義不僅是獨特, 也是個人品味的象徵! 不過可別以為個人裝桶很簡單, 基本上這是有錢做不到事情, 有幸參與淡如姐選桶的過程, 簡單紀錄!

Yamazaki 1998/2008 Owner's Cask 吳淡如選桶(54%, OB, 206 bts. C#CN70168)

C: Light yellow, quite oil.

N: very creaming vanilla, lot's grain. light peat, light fruity. a little bit citrus.

P: medium body. lingering. last long.

D: peanut,nutty.

C: 87 points. ealy , last long. good and easy drinking. very nice. 其實這支酒並不是淡如姐的第一選擇, 但是後來還是聽取我的建議選了這支酒. 希望裝瓶後的表現還令人滿意!

Yamazaki 1997 (59%, OB, WIP sample, 134L(191 b.) C#BX70188)

C: Golden.

N: more alcohol fee. citrus, tannin. pine apple. more fruity.

P: Light body, very fruity. short finish.

D: New wood. robust.

C: 82 points. too young and too robust. 刺激感過重而且新木桶影響還蠻深的.

Yamazaki 1996 (55%, OB, WIP sample, 83L, C#AS70126, Sherry Butt)

C: light yellow.

N: Very creaming. white chocolate, hint of orange and prune. sweet.

P: too sweet, short finish.

C: 84 points. stand refill sherry butt. 四個樣品裡面唯一的雪莉桶, 不過是重複裝填的淡口味, 台灣人似乎對這類型的雪莉桶接受度較低.

Yamazaki 1996/2008 Owner's Cask 威士忌達人學苑選桶 (59%, OB, C#AW70059, 123 bts.)

C: Golden.

N: Citrus, balanced, more Yamazaki feel, herb, broth, orange, parcely.

P: Medium body, appetizing. sweet candy. dry, quite Japanese.

D: straight taste better. sweet white wine.

C: 85 points. a very nice and balanced one. 這支酒是四支裡面最有日本風味的一支, 顯然Steven兄選擇這支的原因與我們社酒有著類似之處!
