學大

同樣是Glendronach 1972

桶號不同

不過~像您說的《自己喜歡最重要》

ㄏㄏ  ~~格蘭多納1972雖然不是台灣這桶~~但恭喜有買到這隻的大大~~畢竟味道都差不多喔!!

台灣的金車 KAVALAN 都有得獎喔

銅牌

84   Kavalan NAS 'Solist' (58.4%, OB, sherry cask#S060703012, 608 Bts.)
82   Kavalan NAS 'Concertmaster' (40%, OB, Port Cask Finish)
81   Kavalan NAS 'Solist' (58.8%, OB, Bourbon cask#B070604026, 196 Bts.)

金車 加油

價格~~~不加油

另外回應大大們對金牌酒價高的遺憾

目前在台灣容易取得且價格合理的，

Glendronach 全系列算是不錯的。不但有好的表現，價格也合理

其中Glendronach 15年算是有金牌實力的酒，只不過因為部分原因而沒獲選。"Take the Glendronach 15yo Revival at the left, for example. Everybody agreed that it should earn a gold or silver medal.........."

酒友們可以試試看。

 
Best Peated Malt Award 2009 (Daily Drams)
(Best whisky distilled from - relatively - peated malt)
Douglas Laing NAS 'Islay Blended / Big Peat' (46%, DL)

讚啦!

GlenDronach 1972  single cask 37年 (2009MMA最佳雪莉桶)一個是 #705 CASK 53.3%-(------.LMDW 裝,半桶270b,一桶540瓶),-------------------------一個是BATCH 1  1972--37年-----#719 CASK 54.8%  (共474 瓶)-台灣進60瓶----所以這2桶,讓我想到山崎1990--# 70644 (台灣63%)--# 70645 (60%)--------# 70646 (61%)

結果台灣裝的瓶數最少,酒精度最高,也最好喝.

GlenDronach 1972 #719 cask--billy walker (MMA沒參賽)精心挑選------------- BATCH 1

                              #705 cask ---法國 LMDW 挑半桶

同一年1972蒸餾--(應該是同一天--同一批OLOROSO SHERRY CASK,------以及在同一個倉庫儲藏.----------裝瓶數474小於540瓶,  ---酒精度54.8%大於53.5%-------------我已經喝了快半瓶,( 油、濃、醇、香 好喝的重雪莉怪獸 )---------------預估它日定會漲破2萬，看到可收(畢竟1.手工地板發麥2.煤炭直火蒸餾3.OLOROSO SHERRY CASK陳年4.堆疊式熟陳 )-----優質老雪莉桶---它日不好遇到

能買的金牌得主酒款, 買到了!!!   

嗯~~同意!!

那醒酒後濃濃的果香與分明的層次~~濃厚直火的味道令人心醉

輕井澤1967沒得獎? 還是沒參賽呢?

沒參加, 但一人限購一瓶, 加上原本價格就不低, 就算得獎 .....

大家不仿也參考銀牌獎的酒款, 尤其是那些限量酒款.

至於銅牌獎的酒款, 就見仁見智了.

迷大:

89   Distilled in Speyside 39yo 1970/2009 (54.4%, The Perfect Dram, First Fill Oloroso Butt, 240 Bts.) 

89   Glenfarclas 1972/2006 (51.1%, OB Family Cask #3546, 645 Bts.) 

好像我們幾個搞過耶 (先被您和BOSS .....).

查理大~~~~

這麼說來

89   Karuizawa 1982/2009 (56.1%, OB for the Number One Drinks Co, First Fill Sherry, Cask #2748)
88   Yamazaki 18yo (43%, OB, +/- 2009)

算是超值的銀牌了

那麼請問這支
89   Yamazaki 1984 (48%, OB, matured in Japanese Mizunara oak, +/- 2009)

是哪一支呢？山崎有像有兩三支1984的說 

查理大

而且搞得很快樂

幸好後來又買了兩支

能買的金牌得主酒款, 買到了!!!
