Tasting note

品嚐筆記：2025 蛇年紀念版以清爽的蜜糖與柑橘糖漬果香為前調，緊接著是香草、焦糖與微烘杏仁的溫暖層次，尾韻帶有柔和的橡木香與細緻煙燻感。口感圓潤絲滑，酒體中等偏豐滿，入口有溫和的甘甜與香料回綿。酒莊與生產：由日本三得利打造的皇家系列生肖特別版，延續細緻與易飲性的風格但多了些收藏價值。釀造與熟成：採用嚴選麥芽與穀物、純淨的日本山泉水，於精挑的橡木桶中熟成，再由調和師精心拼配出平衡口感。田野與產區：強調原料來源的把關，從田間到水源皆注重品質與穩定性。建議飲用方式：建議先倒入杯中靜置約15分鐘，亦可加一小滴水以釋放香氣；適合靜飲或搭配鹹香小點。

Tasting note: The 2025 Suntory Royal 'Snake' Zodiac Collection opens with bright candied orange and honeyed citrus, layered with soft vanilla and toasted almond. The palate is smooth and medium‑bodied — toffee and light oak spice build into a warm, gently smoky finish. Producer notes: A special zodiac release from Suntory's Royal line, this edition balances approachability with refined detail. Winemaking/distillation notes: A crafted blended whisky, matured in a selection of well-seasoned oak casks and carefully married to produce silk-like texture and integrated spice. Vineyard/ingredient notes: Built from carefully sourced malts and grains and pristine Japanese spring waters, the spirit reflects attention to raw materials and blending expertise. Serving suggestion: Enjoy neat or with a drop of water, allow ~15 minutes in the glass to open. Ideal for contemplative sipping or pairing with savory bites.
