Taketsuru 25Y Whisky 竹鶴 25年威士忌 香味特徵
<div>
混合有50種以上的原酒，陳釀足25年，本來一桶酒可釀出200支酒，但經過多年的蒸發，最終只能釀出20支，十分珍貴。能品嚐到各種纖細的獨特香氣。像是特有的焦香與儲酒桶圓潤甘甜的木香所相互融合形成的絕妙平衡香氣。香氣迷人，集溫柔的花香、雪莉酒香，淡淡的泥煤香，與柑橘重疊，並略帶微妙香氣像葡萄乾和餅乾。口感圓潤，帶淡淡的苦澀感。溫柔的甜味和苦味微妙糅合，留下揮之不去淡遠的餘韻。
The Nikka Taketsuru 25 year old was bottled in 2012 and represents the epitome of Nikka’s expertise in the art of whisky making. A true work of art, this whisky is a remarkable tribute to Masataka Taketsuru – the founding father of Nikka. If you want to experience the very best by Nikka then this is for you. It also comes with a beautiful box, so there is no harm in just keeping it as a prized part of your collection!
嗅香
The nose is tropical
to say the least. All kinds of fruit from sunny regions, mostly mango and
passion fruit. Quite some orange marmalade, pipe tobacco and the scent of a
mouldy wine cellar with fungus on the walls. After a few moments I also get
some hearty broth. A touch of woodsmoke and some peat in the background. Wonderful!
This nose is brilliant.
味道
Boy, this is silky
soft upon arrival, but quite spicy. Cardamom, cinnamon and black pepper precede
a basket of tropical fruit. Those of the nose are joined by overripe plums and
mildly bitter oranges. A dry touch from chamomile that stood too long. Luckily
the tannins are under control and it is mostly the influence of the sherry
casks that draw your attention.
尾韵
The finish is actually
fairly short, but with a fresh minty side before the sweet fruit has the final
say.
