【CognacNerds - 30YO Brandy】
沉寂一段時間的 WhiskyNerds 最近終於推出新款,不同的是黑板一樣的酒標上 Whisky 一字被劃走,改名為 CognacNerds 了!沒錯,今次作品是一款 30 年陳的 ”Early Landed Cognac”,來自法國大香檳區的家族酒廠出產的的 “Cognac”,但由於中途轉移到 Scotland 熟成了至少 5 年時間再入樽推出,就只能標上法國白蘭地而非干邑了。酒標標明為 Brut de Fût,即是無加水、無加色和無加糖的意思,但酒色已幾乎深不透光,一打開酒塞,果香就四溢而出,喜歡老 Sherry 威士忌的朋友不能錯過。
聞香帶有布冧、莓果醬、無花果等香甜氣味,隨後帶出黑朱古力、焦糖和薄荷感,後段更有橡木、皮革和咸香氣息。入口帶有布冧、果乾和豐富的果甜味,伴隨黑朱古力味和少許乾淨的單寧感。尾韻悠長,留有乾果香、黑朱古力、一點橡木香和一絲清涼感。
After a period of silence, WhiskyNerds has finally launched a new release. However, this time, the blackboard-like label has the word “Whisky” crossed out and replaced with “CognacNerds”! That’s right, their latest release is a 30-year-old “Early Landed Cognac” from a family-distillery in the Grande Champagne region of France. But since it was transferred to Scotland and aged there for at least 5 years before being bottled, it is labeled as French Brandy instead of Cognac. The label indicates “Brut de Fût,” meaning no water, no coloring, and no sugar has been added. Despite this, the color is so dark it’s almost opaque. Once the cork is popped, the fruity aromas are immediately released — Old Sherry whisky lovers should not miss this.
On the nose, it offers fruity aromas of plums, berry jam, and figs, followed by hints of dark chocolate, caramel, and a touch of mint. Later comes a bit of oak, leather, and saltiness. On the palate, it delivers rich fruitiness like plums, dried fruits, accompanied by dark chocolate and a touch of clean tannins. The finish is long and lingering, with dried fruit aromas, dark chocolate, a hint of oak, and a cooling mouth feeling.
