2009 Malt Maniacs Awards (MMA) 麥芽狂人獎 報!

現在市面上賣的,就是2008年這一支.

謝謝大大告知!

這支酒約兩三年前,邦史都華剛進來時就已嚐過!

因為瓶已扔了所以..........

印象中瓶盒和瓶身是看不出所以然,若當時瓶子有留下,或瓶身序號有抄下那就好了!!

只是納悶,是酒廠今年出的較往年好呢?還是今年的對手較弱呢!!

開開玩笑別介意啊!!ㄏㄏㄏ

嗯~~~~~~

這麼說來~~銀牌屬於常人領域，金牌就是神人領域~~

米羅大, 那銅獎是什麼領域呀?

查理大~~~~

銅牌喔~~~~~應該算是超人領域吧~~~

因為拿銅牌的酒，不一定是不好的酒，

非得有超於常人的識酒、懂酒

才能找到CP值高的酒~~~~

當然啦~~~還是見人見智~~~~

Port ellen 8th

Brora 25

Talisker 10

竟然是同一個水平

不知是評審的愛好差異太大

還是我的嘴感有問題

總之　評分很難做到皆大歡喜

我認為最值得買的

ＧＬＥＮ　ＧＲＡＮＴ　１９７２這次最高９１分（未稅只要１２０歐）

寫信給whisky Fair 沒回信　隔天就下架

是被買光了　還是暗槓了

從這次公佈的 MMA 原始評分表看來, 有些酒款的分數在評審之間有不小的差距.

尤其是 Peter Silver 對重雪莉款打了不少低分.

因此, 根據自己的喜好判斷來買酒會比較適合自己,

而且, 每年有好幾次的威士忌比賽 (如 IWSC), 這些獎項也可參考看看來選酒.

言之有理!

日本威士忌在這次的 2009 MMA 奪到3面金牌,

已經讓歐美地區對日本威士忌相當另眼相看.

(未完待續)

這次冠軍 Glen Grant (91 points) & 格蘭多納/Karuizawa 1972 的評分表, 非常有意思.

http://www.maltmaniacs.org/whisky/competition/Malt-Maniacs-Awards-2009.pdf

Glen Grant: Serge/92 , HY/93
K1972:        Serge/93, HY/92
格蘭多納:    Serge/90, HY/88

尤其 Glen Grant 零售價是屬於 premium, 越級挑戰拿個最高分, 非常不容易.

接下來看 YoiChi 1991,

Serge/87, HY/95. 和 Karuizawa 1972 一樣, 90 分以下的有 4 位評審. 分數比較呈現兩極化.

總的來看, 金牌得主:

1. Glen Grant 越級挑戰奪得最高分, 只有兩位評審給 90 以下. 黃金成份最好!

2. 布納哈本 90 分以下也只有兩位, 較無疑慮.

3. YoiChi 個人持保留態度. (Since it only scored 87 from Serge)

4. Macallan 1970 90 以下有 5 位, 包含 Serge. 日後潛力個人存疑.

Yoichi 1991 大概是因 HY 給比較高分 (95) 給拉上來.

Hakushu 1989 的得分也不錯.

Talisker 30yo Serge 給 93, OH 給 93. 最龜毛的 Peter 也給了 90. HY 給最低, 80.
(ps: Peter 給了許多超低分, 使其計分常常不作數).

因為 Talisker 品牌弱勢, 若有便宜貨, 日常飲用反而爽度最高. 但是日後漲相大概最差.

其實 MMA 評審們都是義務幫忙,

評審們評酒非常辛苦, 我只是純粹分析分數的組成與分佈,
(大概是工程師的天性吧, 哈哈)

大家要記得多給 MMA 狂人們加油與打氣, 我們升斗小民才有機會

用最少的時間/成本買到最優質的好酒.

是的, 實在是很感謝這群人的奉獻. 

后, 得 MMA 金牌獎之一的

Macallan 1970 Speymalt 46% Gordon & Macphail (90 points)

在TWE上架不到2天就秒殺完畢 Sold Out. 

\金牌就是不 一樣
