Single Malt Lover!

Date: May 26, 2007
Place: W酒坊

早早來到這裡, 主要的原因還是在SMWS台北會員室熱到直冒汗, 人真的很多, Chloe的人氣果然很盛! 許多帥哥美女到場祝賀, 應該多拉些人進社團充充人氣.

品飲還沒開始, 大家已經開始喝起了插花酒, 好像跟習慣不太一樣, 這會變成以後的常態嗎?



Karuizawa 1994/2006 (61%, Fully Proof Holland, 204 Bts.C#2221, Ex-Glenlivet sherry butt)
C: Yellow.
N: Mint, Japanese whisky.
P: Very woody, citrus, with some sherry feel, very malty.
C: 85 points. though not that impressive as the previous Hanyu, still a very good whisky.  別被標籤上面的美女大腿迷昏了眼, 這是在畫Highland Game的場景!(當然我是沒看過女生參加Highland Game啦!)


這是來自同樣裝瓶商的那支著名Hanyu的標籤原創畫作, 在Limburg展覽出售, 標價300歐元!

Glenglassaugh 1974/1998 (55.9%, Scott's Selection)
C: Light yellow.
N: Lot's vanilla, creaming. dilute get very clear citrus.
P: Medium-heavy body. medium finish. quite thick one. Nice palate.
C: 85 points. an easy but creaming nose, good and enjoyable.  酒友的生日酒, 感謝分享!

在有點high的氣氛中, 終於開始了今日的品飲.



Glenlivet 13yo 1993/2006 (63.3%, Clasdale, C#262/350682, 228Bts. Bourbon cask)
C: Yellow.
N: Citrus, white flower, lime,
P: Medium light body. Long finish. Nice palate.
C: 88 points. a very fresh and good Glenlivet. surprising.  這支酒喜歡的人似乎不多, 但是我倒是覺得這是一支表現很佳的Glenlivet, 我尤其喜歡這支所表現的清新花果香氣。

Blair Athol 12yo 1993/2006 (59.1%, Blackadder C#7082, 226 Bts. Bodega sherry cask)
C: Brown.
N: Smoky, sherry, dark chocolate, prum.
P: Medium body, medium light finish, hot sugar cane juice, quite salty. 
C: 85 points. Quite nice, easy. Lot's sherry influence. 之前喝Blair Athol的幾次經驗都覺得太像調和了, 這次的感覺雖然不錯, 但是還是抓不出酒廠的特色來.

Macallan 14yo 1991/2006 (62.1%, Blackadder, C#21412, 170Bts. Bourbon Cask)
C: Yellow.
N: Citrus, creaming. 
P: fruity sweet. Nutty grain.
C: 87 points. unusual cask. fell like a refill sherry cask. 雖然不怎麼覺得像是波本桶, 但是以最近喝的麥卡倫來說這支酒的表現頗優.

Strathisla 17yo 1989/2006 (61.3%, Blackadder, C#2052, 184 Bts., Sherry cask)
C: Light brown.
N: malty, old grain, some chocolate, 
P: very hard in body. big.
C: 88 points. not easy to drink, but a very good one malt.  表現很優異的一支Strathisla, 仍然保有其艱深的酒廠風格.

Highland Park 28yo 1978/2006 (54.8%, C#4212, 328 Bts.)
C: Light brown.
N: Heather, grain, minty, flower.
P: Very light, good palate. easy drinking.
C: 88 points. 還是很棒的一支Highland Park, 你永遠不會失望的酒. 

當然, 最後的Port Ellen壓軸是大家的最愛, 就純享受吧!
