酒香很不錯的一枝酒,有一定複雜性及力度。但酒味的複雜性差了點,雖則仍維持一定力度,餘韻也不錯,好飲。

酒很一致,係一致地好。酒的礦物感頗充足。酒香及酒味也有一定複雜性及強度,餘韻算長,但酒的整體好像少了一點點布根地的優雅感,不錯的一枝酒。

舊酒吸引力表現出來。酒香濃郁有複雜性。口感豐厚圓潤,酒味亦展現出層次感,餘韻長而吸引,令人回味,酒味及酒香表現一致,飯後只飲這酒而不食甜品 也會有一種滿足的感覺。

較簡單的一款酒,但仍不失布根地酒的特色。酒力一般,複雜性也算合格,值得一讚的是酒的餘韻比想像中長,佐餐可能好一點,輕鬆暢飲也是一個不錯的選擇。

再一次証明NSG的酒不是差的。在複雜性上不算十分複雜,但酒在口中表現比香氣更好,不論在力度及複雜性皆是,餘韻亦長。幾好飲。

有剛強感的一枝威士忌,酒香在強度與複雜性均不錯,酒味也好,但強度與複雜性均不及酒香,餘韻算長而口感亦算豐厚,酒精感強了少少,整體表現好的。

酒香的複雜性力度均好,可是在口中複雜性跌了點,但力度仍算強。餘韻長也是另一個誘人因素,比些時間陳多兩年應該好好味。

威士忌名點讀

好多時威士忌的名子好似好長好複雜,而且D讀音亦未必完全似英文音(熟悉英國的人都知蘇格蘭D口音好似煲水咁)。

以下條LINK個PLAYLIST我覺得幾正,可以參考,有45個蒸餾廠的讀音。

果香出色,果味濃郁,有點複雜性,亦開始有一些其他香味發展出來。餘韻不錯,但酒仍須一些時間發展,可以陳年多一點,應該會更好的。

酒很濃郁,複雜性反而欠了點,餘韻不夠長,但酸度多了點點,整體也不錯。

老酒風範,發展成熟而正在走下坡,氧化的情況亦已經出現。雖則如此,酒的複雜性及力度仍有,仍可給與飲用者一點享受,快飲快飲。

香氣複雜性及強度不錯。甜酸的平衡度也適中。可是口中的力度及複雜性轉弱,餘韻亦比想像中短,但配餐的話應該不錯。

雖然酒的陳年感欠缺了點,但它以其清純及豐富果香搶回分數。酒香及酒味一致濃烈,有一定複雜性,餘韻也算合適,其花果味亦令酒的豐富感增加,幾好飲。
