Ardbeg Grooves - 70厘升

Ardbeg Grooves Limited Edition Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky (2018) 70cl

Ardbeg Grooves 于2018年 Ardbeg Day 发布，一如既往，来自艾莱岛的酒厂打造出一款极具吸引力的酒款。Part of the whisky that makes up Grooves was matured in red wine casks that were very well-charred, resulting in heavy grooves in the surface of the wood. A mellow though flavoursome dram.

部分威士忌在极度烧焦的红酒桶中陈酿，使木材表面留下深深的纹痕，口感醇和而风味丰富。

With its 1960s-inspired logo, Ardbeg has tried to recreate vibes of ‘Peat and Love’ with Grooves, which was matured in red-wine casks that were heavily charred, so much so that they made grooves in the wood, adding intensity to the final whisky. Expect aromas of smoked cinnamon, paprika, tar and sea spray alongside spicy cured meat, white pepper and herbs.

以1960年代风格的标志为灵感，Ardbeg 试图借 Grooves 再现《Peat and Love》的气质，该酒在高度炭化的红酒桶中陈酿，甚至在木材表面形成纹沟，增添最终酒的强度。香气可闻烟熏肉桂、甜椒粉、焦油与海盐气息，并伴随辛香的腌制肉、白胡椒和香草。

From the experimental folk at Ardbeg comes this intensely mellow dram, produced using our grooviest casks ever. Smoked spices combine with distant bonfires fading into a mellow haze of apples and smoked pear.

来自 Ardbeg 的实验派，呈现这款极致醇和的酒款，使用我们有史以来最具纹沟感的桶陈。烟熏香料与远处的篝火逐渐淡出，化作苹果与烟熏梨的柔和雾影。

Colour - Berbere (African spice blend of a reddish/orange hue)

色泽 - Berbere（非洲混合香料，呈现红橙色调）

Nose - Intense aromas of smoked cinnamon and paprika, antique leather and saddle soap, with classic Ardbeg scents of pine resin, tar and briny sea spray in the background. A distant hint of a fragrant bonfire by the shores of the distillery and, finally, an unusual savoury note, like chilli-seasoned meats. A little splash of water releases some beautiful, unexpected aromas: lavender scented soap, ground white pepper, floral and herbal notes entwined. Fresh flowers mix with coriander leaves and mint.

鼻香：强烈的烟熏肉桂与甜椒粉香气，古董皮革与鞍具脂脂香，背景中是典型的 Ardbeg 松脂、焦油与咸水气息。远处似在酒厂海岸的芳香篝火的微弱暗示，最后是一种不同寻常的咸鲜气味，如辣味调料腌肉。少许水滴释放出美丽而意外的香气：薰衣草香皂、白胡椒粉、花香与草本香混合。新鲜花朵与香菜叶、薄荷相互交融。

Taste - A powerfully salty mouthfeel drifts into sweet vibes of treacle toffee, vanilla popcorn, salted fruits (peaches) with soot and tar. Again, those distinctive savoury notes of smoky BBQ, paprika and mustard spice, fading into an unexpected haze of smoked pears and apples, almost like pear cider.

口感：强烈的咸感滑过口腔，随之进入甜香的糖蜜太妃糖、香草爆米花、盐渗水果（桃子），并伴有烟灰与焦油味道。再次出现标志性的咸香烟熏烧烤味、甜椒粉与芥末香料，渐渐消散，化作烟熏梨与苹果的意外雾影，几近如梨子酒的口感。

Finish - Smoked paprika and bonfires with a mellow sweetness throughout.

余味：烟熏甜椒与篝火的气息贯穿始终，带着柔和的甜度。
