由於擔任豪邁的顧問, 我總有機會在還沒裝瓶之前就試到這些酒, 不過太懶了, 這些酒進來台灣很久也沒寫紀錄, 真是不太襯職! 不過話說回來, 我也當SMWS的台灣選酒團隊主席, 不過我也好像沒有再替協會選酒. 只能說是頭銜啦! 

Banff 33yo 1975 (49.2%, Exclusive Malts, C#1489, WIP sample)

C: Golden yellow, quite clear and watering.

N: Fresh fruity, citrus, lot's vanilla, woody, light flower, hint of metal.

P: Light flower, medium short finish. dry, not very powerful.

C: 85 points. quite avery boourbon cask, light in body, seems not that old. Dilute taste much better. 有點過多木桶影響的酒, 稍澀, 加水後表現好很多.

Glencadam 34yo 1974 (50.2%, Exclusive Malts. C#2179, Sherry Cask, WIP Sample)

C: Brown, somewhat green earthy, watering.

N: Standard sherry cask, sulfer, earthy. mint, x'mas cake. nut, dried fruit, powerful and fresh. prune, lot's tannin, woody. dark chocolate, nothing bad.

P: Medium heavy body, robust, rounded, refreshing, fruity, medium finish, grain and cookie, powerful.

C: 88 points. a nice old sherry malt. robust and powerful. 一支很強勁的雪莉桶陳年老麥芽, 頗不錯. 有點奇怪似乎識貨的人不多, 可能是因為酒廠太冷門了吧? 隸屬於Diageo的悲哀.

Caol Ila 25yo 1983 (50.7%, Exclusive Malts C#4793, TSMWTA 2008 club bottling)

C: Yellow gold.

N: Tropical fruit, mango, pine apple. peat, quite warm and charming. hin of iodine.

P: Powerful hot, medium body, sweet, warm, finished long a little bit salty.

C: 88 points. a very warm Caol Ila, clean. powerful last long. 喝的時候還沒裝瓶, 後來有機會跟Lazy一塊喝的時候談起此事,沒想到就成了, 很棒的大冠鷲標籤. 有點混的是我之前居然沒寫紀錄?

本來這桶酒是要賣給猛禽會的, 後來沒成, 但是卻錯有錯招的成了典藏台灣系列的酒, 這也是始料未及的一件事!我很喜歡這幾張標籤!(台灣藍鵲, 北投石, 台灣長臂金龜, 台東蘇鐵)

Glenlossie 15yo 1993/2008 (52.6%, Exclusive Malts, C#184, 320 Bts. WIP sample)

C: light yellow

N: beautiful flower nose comes out first. quite surprising, fade out quickly. citrus, fresh fruit, stay long. hint of honey. malty sweet.

P: surprising oil, rounded, finished long. very nice and drinkable.

C: 87 points. a nice one. very charming. 光是為了標籤就可以買的酒, 酒還很好喝.
