描述
The Macallan AERA Royal Black is an exciting Taiwanese exclusive release from Scotland’s most famous distillery. The release has been surrounded by a lot of hype, and with good reason.
Aged in a combination of European and American Oak casks, this dram follows the latest Macallan trend of moving away from exclusively sherry cask matured whisky, but there is no doubt that the signature sherried style is still on full display here. The precious sherry cask oak was grown in Jerez in southern Spain and the forests in the north before being dried for four years, made into wooden barrels and then sedated for two years before being filled with Sherry. This process is carried out to strict regulations set by Macallan’s Master of Wood and it results in supreme quality casks that have dramatic effects on the distillery’s outstanding spirit.
創造「麥卡倫 AERA 御黑單一麥芽威士忌」的第一個里程碑，是挑選最高品質的美國與歐洲橡木。珍貴的橡木從一顆橡實茁壯成樹、從美國與西班牙北部林區運送到西班牙南部赫雷斯的過程中歷經長達4年的自然風乾，製成木桶後再歷經2年雪莉酒浸潤才成最優質的雪莉橡木桶。至此需要106年的光陰，再長途跋涉運往蘇格蘭，注滿新酒後經過漫長的熟成，為麥卡倫帶來羽化成蝶的味覺驚豔。宛如歷經生命各階段歷程的「麥卡倫AERA 御黑」，伴您邁入生命不同階段的里程碑，與您一同歡慶人生的非凡旅程。
麥卡倫首席釀酒師 Nick Savage 表示：「這款單一麥芽威士忌的特點是充滿果乾的甜味，交織著濃郁的蜂蜜香氣，迸發的沁心柑橘適時平衡更豐富了風味，最後留下縈繞悠長的麥芽甜香和溫潤餘韻。品嚐這款威士忌，就是帶給味蕾一段豐富的旅程。」Nick Savage更感性說道，「麥卡倫AERA御黑」提醒著我們，人生旅程中的每一刻都應該仔細品味，有時靜靜地沉澱，有時歡欣地慶賀。就像釀造這款威士忌時的各段歷程，每一段都同樣重要，值得永遠珍藏。
