七歲甜齒 7 Years Old Sweet Tooth

七歲….甜齒,這標題你第一眼看上去,真的是七歲"甜"齒?

開過小玩笑罷了,還是入正題吧。對不起,今天的酒評,還是關於格籣多納 Glendronach。我還有很多篇未刊出的格籣多納酒評呢,包容包容吧。

格籣多納 Glendronach 對不少飲家的印象,就是濃郁甜美的雪莉桶陳威士忌,PX 的更濃甜,酒色深邃,黑醬酒般的更受歡迎,十多年陳的起跳,二十年陳以上更佳。我自己喝過的多納很多也是以上的類型,不是我特別追求,但遇到的就是這些哦(….把妹嗎 XDDD)。

我有機會喝到一款"非典型"的多納,就是以下這款。

GlenDronach 7 years, 2006, SMWS 96.7, 700 ml, 59.3%
Title: For a sweet tooth
Distilled: 8 June 2006
Cask type: Refill Ex-Bourbon Barrel
Nos. of bottle: 187

這款酒是 SMWS 瓶裝,酒款描述"為了甜牙齒 For a sweet tooth"。波本桶陳,酒色清澈,只得七年陳的甜齒,和我以往喝開的截然不同,很有趣,未喝先興奮。

氣味: 柑橘,花香,忌廉,香草,蛋糕
口味: 花蜜,柑橘皮,白麵包,木材,酒精
餘蘊: 算長,木質,柑橘皮,忌廉
結論: 很清新的花香和柑橘的氣味,帶甜的香草忌廉蛋糕。酒體強勁,花蜜軟糖的甜味為首,留有些酵母的白麵包, 有些酒精感,伴些木材。餘蘊算長,稍苦的木材單寧和柑橘皮黏在舌根和牙齦。清脆直接不複雜,很有秋日氣息,口味很明顯的新酒感,有些調味伏特加的感覺,餘蘊稍苦,但也不算討厭,純飲用享受表現計,不過不失吧。

(威士忌的世界是很廣大的,你未遇到過未有喝過只是你見識少未夠火候吧!)
(對,我承認我見識少,我會努力多喝點用心點….你會贊助我嗎?)

English Version of Tasting Note

Rich and sweet Sherry oak favor and PX cask even sweeter, dark amber color and the darker the better, old aged and the older the better, all these phases are descriptions of impression of GlenDronach to many whisky lovers. In fact many I met and tasted are those mentioned above.

I have had a good opportunity to meet and taste an “unusual" GlenDronach as follows.

GlenDronach 7 years, 2006, SMWS 96.7, 700 ml, 59.3%
Title: For a sweet tooth
Distilled: 8 June 2006
Cask type: Refill Ex-Bourbon Barrel
Nos. of bottle: 187

This GlenDronach is a SMWS bottling. Aged 7 years in ex-Bourbon barrel, plain and clear in color, a very young whisky. Quit different to my experienced GlenDronach. A very intereting whisky to me. The description is “For a sweet tooth". How sweet is it?

Nose: Citrus, fresh flower, cream, vanilla, cake
Palate: Nectar, gummy, citrus peel, white bread, woody, alcohol
Aftertaste: Long, woody, citrus peel, cream
Comment: Very fresh flower and citrus aroma, with some vanilla favor cake. Very powerful at palate, mainly nectar and candy, some white bread with residue of yeast, little alcohol burnt and dried wood. Long aftertaste, bitter woody tannin and citrus peel stuck at back of tongue and gum. Crisp and straight forward, explicit new whisky taste, somehow tasted like favored vodka, overly bitter in aftertaste but still acceptable, not bad but just OK dram. Sweet indeed but burn your tooth!

(The world of whisky is very big. This whisky is nothing special but just you lack of experience)
(Yes, I admitted I am nuts in the whisky world. I will drink more to enrich my profile….by the way, you will sponsor me for whiskies, won’t you?)
