Please scroll down to the bottom for English verison of tasting note.
手上有數款多納的樣本, 就選了兩款不同桶但同樣是十九年陳 1993 年的多納, 喝喝看有多大的分別. 那兩款酒聽聞都是供台灣市場為主的, 現在先來第一款.
Glendronach 19 years, 1993/2012, C# 537, 700 ml, 59.5%
Cask Type: Oloroso Sherry Butt
Distilled: 26/2/1993
Bottled: 12/2012
No. of bottles: 115/557
氣味: 冬蜜,乾棗,糖薑,拖肥,焦木,草藥
口味: 蜜糖,葡萄乾,多士,朱古力,黑茶,肉桂
餘蘊: 中等長度,炭燒咖啡,焦糖,丁香
結論: 氣味豐富,甜美的冬蜜,隨後帶辣的糖薑,香甜的拖肥香氣接續,中藥和焦香平和甜膩感。酒體力量充沛,豐厚,甘潤,同樣的甜美。中等長度的餘蘊,偏向焦香,有不辣的丁香味道,有溫暖感。一如所料的香甜,但不算膩,有一定的薑和香辛料平衡,草本及焦香增添層次。味道豐富,結實有力,但融合上稍欠火候,不過綜合而言,毫無疑問是正斗之酒。
English Version of Tasting Note
I have selected two GlenDronach samples from my stock. They were from different casks but same age. Heard that these two bottlings are for Taiwan market. Here is the first one.
Glendronach 19 years, 1993/2012, C# 537, 700 ml, 59.5%
Cask Type: Oloroso Sherry Butt
Distilled: 26/2/1993
Bottled: 12/2012
Nose: Winter honey, dried date, preserved ginger, toffee, burnt wood, herb
Palate: Honey, raisin, toast, chocolate, black tea, cinnamon
Aftertaste: Medium length, roasted coffee, clove
Comment: Rich on nose, sweet winter honey, followed by hot preserved ginger, even sweet toffee and finally balanced by herb and scorch. Full body, thick, rich, presisting sweetness。Medium length aftertaste, trend to scorch taste, clove but not hot, warm. Sweet as expected but not fat, balanced by ginger and spicy, heabal and roast favour adding complexity. A rich and powerful dram, though room for improvment in fusion of elements, it is definitly an outstanding whisky.
