Tasting note
這款Blue Label「Ghost & Rare」Port Dundas 特別版,集合了珍稀低地區谷物原酒與精選麥芽,並以波特酒桶與前波本桶陳放調和。香氣像把果乾盒打開:蜜餞橙皮、葡乾、黑巧克力,還有焦糖與香草的溫暖感。口感綿密且帶油潤感,中段飽滿,細緻香料與微微煙燻在尾韻拉長餘味。生產上強調從已停產的Port Dundas穀物廠挑選稀有原酒,再由首席調配師小心融合,保留層次與平衡。釀造工序以高品質的大麥與低地海洋性氣候而成的麥芽風味為基底,入桶採用波特酒浸桶提升果乾與甜感,最後回合陳年讓橡木、香料與甜味交織。喝法建議:清飲或醒個10–20分鐘,若加一滴水能把香氣再打開。輕鬆品飲時,配濃郁巧克力或烤肉都很match。
A special Blue Label bottling from Johnnie Walker’s Ghost & Rare series, this Port Dundas edition brings together rare Lowlands grain spirit and hand-selected malts. Matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and port-seasoned casks, the whisky opens with rich notes of candied orange, stewed raisins and dark chocolate, layered over warm toffee, vanilla and toasted oak. The texture is silky with a plush mid-palate and gentle spice that leads to a long, warming finish with a whisper of smoke. Producer notes highlight the careful selection of liquid from a closed grain distillery (Port Dundas) and the marrying expertise of the master blender to retain depth and balance. Winemaking (distilling) and maturation notes: distilled grain provides a soft cereal sweetness while the use of port-seasoned casks imparts concentrated dried fruit and sweetness; marrying and finishing ensure integration of oak spice, sweetness and a rounded palate. Vineyard (field) notes: barley for the grain spirit traditionally comes from Lowlands and surrounding Scottish farms, benefitting from a maritime climate that gives a restrained, elegant grain character. This release is crafted for contemplative sipping — try neat or with a single drop of water to open aromatics.
