Suntory-Yamazaki 2014 limited edition Whisky 三得利-山崎 2014年 限量版威士忌
「山崎2014 Limited Edition」來自山崎蒸餾廠,精選酒廠陳年超過20年以上、於雪莉和波特等歐洲橡木桶內稀少且珍貴的麥芽原酒,與美國橡木桶內清爽的麥芽原酒調和,創造出香甜滑順、細膩精緻且富含層次口感與深遠尾韻。
氣味:初段很甜蜜的雪莉風格,葡萄乾味突出,然後又像波本威士忌帶有短暫雲尼拿與香蕉,再來保留很多山崎酒款皆有的木桶,檀香,薄荷,蜜糖,甚至莓類,由始至終也嗅不到一絲令人不悅的氣味
口感:中等酒體,微焦香,木頭,紅茶,沒有預期中的複雜,但換來果,茶,木等各方面的平衡
餘蘊:中等,多士,莓類果味,結尾甚至有意想不到的清爽感結論:雖掛上限量之名,但價錢尚算親民,論性價比可能是四酒中之冠,從包裝到內涵都是有誠意有實力之作
Suntory-Yamazaki 2014 limited edition Whisky 三得利-山崎 2014年 限量版威士忌
山崎的2014 Limited Edition 同普通的山崎12年或18年有乜分別,其實2014 Limited Edition可以話係三得利另一個新嘗試,這一支威士忌正正特顯了一支質量好的酒並不一定要用單一限定年份來釀造,我們再解釋清楚D,這支酒係用了三種不同成份的單一麥芽來釀造,該三種成份包括:
1. 於歐洲橡木桶的雪利酒桶陳年的20年單一麥芽,該雪利桶曾用於紅 酒陳年
2. 於歐洲橡木桶的砵酒桶陳年的20年單一麥芽,該砵酒桶曾用於砵酒陳年
3. 於美國白橡木桶陳年的新年份單一麥芽
總括黎講,2014 Limited Edition 係混合著新同舊,加上來自不同地區的威士忌。
A new Suntory single malt, the Yamazaki Limited Edition 2014
Today, Suntory unveils an exclusive version of the single malt whisky, produced from their very first distillery and named Yamazaki Limited Edition 2014. We invite you to discover this newly composed brew that may be mistaken as a simple no-aged single malt…
Due to the inabundance of old whiskies, and after presenting their new permanent versions of the Yamazaki and the Hakushu, known as the Distiller’s Reserve, Suntory surprises us once again by offering a limted edition of its Yamazaki single malt.
Like for the Distiller’s Reserve, Suntory expertly refines their compositions, proving to us once again that quality does not necessarily require a certain number of years. Even if we could consider the Yamazaki Limited Edition 2014 as an ageless brew, it is a newly assembled work of young and old whiskies that has been aged in barrels of different origins.
The Yamazaki Limited Edition 2014 is composed of three single malts:
a single malt aged 20 years in sherry casks made out of European oak ; these barrels were used for maturating red wines.
another single malt aged 20 years in port wine casks made out of European oak ; these barrels were previously used for maturing port wines.
a young single malt aged in bourbon barrels made out of American white oak.
