整體感覺🤔:
好像很久沒碰Highland Park了
尤其近年大多都標榜Secret Orkney
(當然不能忘記還有Scapa🤣)
正好看到這聯承款式
淺嚐一下差不多8年前的裝瓶
信濃屋 相信只是該日本IB品牌就不用質疑😏
酒廠本身也很受歡迎 討論度不低
也有Bourbon/Sherry派別之爭
聞香是滿滿的黃花蜜及木瓜🌻
蜂蜜 草青 菠蘿 香蕉奶 輕泥煤🍯☘🍍🍌
蠟感讓威介始料不及🕯
酒體中等且creamy 同樣清新脫俗
相比香氣層次簡單卻仍然誘人
還是黃花蜜配上草青 木瓜🌻☘
平衡 幾乎沒有辣度 也沒泥煤 非常優雅🥰
放久了酸多一點 力度才出現
尾韻帶點姜 泥煤輕輕襯托
波本的騎士 偶爾能期待有這樣的一個女英雄呢👸
