ラフロイグ・カーディス到着！(正しくは「カーチェス」らしい）

2012年のリミテッド、「カーディス」到着しました。

13年から21年のブレンドと、7年間クオーターカスクで熟成させた原酒を1:1でブレンドしたようです。もちろんノンチル、カスクかはわかりませんがある程度強い度数です。甘い香りに、ｽﾓｰｷｰさがガッツリあってラフロイグ好きにはマストアイテムです。

英語の読解力に自信がないので違ったら教えてください。

We specially retained some of our very first Cairdeas for the ‘Friends’ 18th birthday expression .This whisky is now between 13 and 21 years old. We then blended it (50:50) with some new spirit fully matured in quarter casks for 7 years and bottled it without any chill filtering for maximum flavour. It is at 51.2%ABV strength, which was one of the staff’s ideas, so that the last 2 digits match the year of production .It’s a fantastic ‘coming of age’ whisky, we hope you love it as much as we do!

Tasting Notes

Nose: With a nose that constantly evolves and is full of flavour Cairdeas Origin begins with a quick hint of concentrated orange moving quickly into huge peat flavours, ashy , dusty with hazelnut. It becomes crisp and fresh with cold green apples, grapes and finishing with a fresh cut grassy flavour.

Palate: The flavours evolve slowly on the palate and with great body it begins with white pepper moving into an earthy peaty flavour, some slight salt then purple heather. Huge creamy apricots that last and last and it ends with some charred damp wood.
