本次品飲會在社團酒友兼Glenfiddich品牌推廣大使Murder的努力之下,邀請到全球品牌大使Ludovic前來講解以Glenfiddich 15yo Solera Reserve的三支構成原酒在Solera system中的特色及組成架構.

其中這三支Solera refilled American oak,Solera sherry,Solera New Wood在製造Solera Reserve時,所佔比例分別為70%,20%,10%.會中Ludovic對此三支構成原酒多所琢磨與解釋,再次讓我們於這次的品飲會中重新認識這家蒸餾廠,除了了解到Glenfiddich對15yo Solera Reserve的用心和智慧,也品嘗到固中精髓,再次感謝Murder及Ludovic!

23 Smell:些許熱帶水果,鳳梨,龍眼,桃子,香蕉,cream,淡淡的麥芽香味,接著有清甜的木頭味.honey,vanilla,full of fresh fruit
21 Taste:酒體強勁,medium body.白色水果味,lemon,pineapple,口中乳脂豐富明顯,creme,接著有一點pepper,vanilla
22 Finish:long,香氣細緻,但在後段感覺較單薄.唯果味仍相當明顯
20 Balance:平衡度尚可,唯酒精味稍明顯.Ludovic說明這支是相當有酒廠特色的原酒,對於自己也是第一次品飲到如此性格強烈的Glenfiddich,對於後後續的酒款相對感到異常期待與興奮

21 Finish:long,香氣均勻,終段帶一點coffee的苦味.口感和香氣較深長,唯變化不夠
20 Balance:平衡度尚可,木桶本身的影響明顯超過sherry,使得整體的口感失衡.Ludovic亦說明此桶雪莉較不易表現出酒廠特色,原因是一般酒廠很容易釀出這類的酒.其實當天喝起來第一印象果然也像常喝到的雪莉桶一般
