Tasting note

品飲感受：淺金色，先是清爽的海風與泥煤煙熏，帶點奶巧克力、檸檬皮和微微的紅莓果醬氣息，隨後煙燻與鹹香在口中擴散。口感由輕到油潤，甜味短暫現身，接著是焦炭、薄荷與烤馬鈴薯皮的鹹香，尾段乾爽且帶餘韻的炙烈感。稍加幾滴水可以柔化蒸餾酒的刺激，讓辛香與果甜更明顯。 酒莊與背景：此款為樂加維林二百週年紀念限量版，以歷史傳承與當地風土為核心；酒廠位於海風強勁、泥炭肥沃的Islay，沿用傳統窯烘與熟成手法。釀造與熟成：使用傳統單一麥芽蒸餾手法，於橡木桶中熟成，橡木只做支撐角色，不搶走泥煤與海鹽的主角地位。 田野與風土：Islay的泥煤、沿海鹽霧與涼爽海風，是這款酒煙燻與鹹味的來源；兩百年的工藝與匠人細緻處理，讓酒款在力量與細緻間取得平衡，外觀與禮盒也非常適合收藏或送禮。

Tasting Note: Light-gold in the glass, Lagavulin’s 8-Year-Old for the 200th anniversary opens with fragrant, tea-scented smoke and maritime, nose-drying salinity. Hints of milk chocolate, lemon and faint red-berry preserve sit beneath a powerful smoky core. On the palate it’s light-bodied at first then pleasantly oily, sweet-leaning into charred, minty dark chocolate, salty oven-charred potato skins and a growing smoky pungency that finishes dry and fiery. A drop of water softens the edges and teases out more fruit and spice. Producer Notes: Released to mark Lagavulin’s bicentenary, this limited-edition bottling celebrates the distillery’s historic craft. Inspired by Alfred Barnard’s praise for an eight-year-old from the 1880s, it’s built to showcase the classic Lagavulin DNA—coastal peat smoke, sea salt and a distinctive dry finish—presented in an elegant commemorative box. Distilling & Maturation: Single malt distilled on Islay and matured in oak casks. The spirit carries seaside minerality and peat smoke from local peat-fired kilns; careful oak influence provides charred and chocolatey notes without over-sweetening. Bottled at c.43–48% ABV to retain aromatic lift while delivering warming intensity. Estate & Environment: Born of Islay’s wind-swept coast, the character comes from peaty soils, coastal air and traditional malting. The distillery’s long heritage—two centuries of hands-on production—shines through in the balance between smoke, salt and soft, rounded oak.

Winery

樂加維林蒸餾廠創立於1816年，隸屬Diageo旗下，是Islay經典的泥煤風格代表。酒廠沿用傳統窯烘與人工處理方法，靠近海岸的熟成環境、泥炭原料與匠人的經驗，共同造就出既有海鹽氣息又帶乾爽尾韻的威士忌。

Lagavulin Distillery, established in 1816 and now part of Diageo, is one of Islay’s signature producers. Renowned for heavily peated single malts, the distillery combines traditional malting, peat-fired kilns and oak maturation by the sea to produce smoky, maritime whiskies that carry a distinctive dry, savory finish.
