佛朗明歌舞者


產地 : Speyside 斯佩賽

來自世界第二大品牌的單一麥芽威士忌,位於Speyside區的River Livet旁。使用的是美國大酒桶(Hogshead)來熟成這款夏天般的麥芽威士忌,而酒的色澤有如金雀花酒般的金黃色。相當的錯綜複雜─不摻水的香氣如閃爍著芳香的蜂蜜、柑橘油、水果冰沙、鳳梨、添加辛香料的餅乾、茶櫃的香味,和淡淡的煙薰味。當加水後,它有肉桂、鳳梨蛋糕、薄荷、香橙花和Manzanilla橄欖的氣味-西班牙南部的主題漸漸浮現在我們的眼前。純飲的口感是富麗、溫暖、甜美,與柑橘和胡椒的辛香味。加水後,感到酒的風味被展開,但酒質依然保留原有的長度。甜美的酒體帶點柑橘的點綴,讓整體的口感是平衡和充滿活力氣勢的。就像是位西班牙的佛朗明歌舞者。

The world’s number two malt from the ‘longest glen’ in Scotland. A refill hoggie produced this summery dram, the colour of gorse wine. Certainly complex – the nose at full strength is perfumed and shimmering with honey, orange oil, sherbet, pineapple cubes, spicy biscuits, tea chests and light smoke. Diluted, it has cinnamon, pineapple upside-down cake, mint, orange blossom and Manzanilla olives – an Andalusian theme emerging. The flavour is rich, warm, sweet and spicy with orange and pepper. It opens up with water while retaining its length. Sweet-bodied with a citrus edge, it has balance and energy, like a Flamenco dancer.
