TESTING
1898年,Longmorn酒廠的創始人John Duff建立了Benriach酒廠,其間曾停產65 年,1965 年才又重新啟動,並於1972 年起投入泥煤威士忌的生產,所蒸餾的威士忌全數提供調合使用,直至2004 年由Billy Walker 接手後,不僅以斯貝賽區唯一重泥煤風格著稱,其時下流行的換桶系列、最傳統的經典系列皆受到行家們的讚譽。Benriach 35 yo: This is more than perfect, elegant, subtle, and yet ‘evident’. It’s a clear case of an obvious oakiness that’s so well complemented with fruit jams and syrups that balance gets perfect. And indeed a tobacco-like oakiness, and even many tannins, but those are very ‘silky’. A perfect example of a perfect balance between a fruity spirit and an assertive old oak. Totally perfect.
