有幸找到兩瓶同年同月同日生並裝同桶型的單桶。讓我們來嚐嚐有什麼分別!
先講結論: 兩年真的有差別。多兩年的風味較濃郁。少兩年的口感較明亮。硬要選,我選少兩年的! 那明亮乾淨的風味,意猶未盡~
相似處: 波本桶標配,香草、奶油、熱帶水果風味。
不同處:
Cask no. 3782 (10YO: 2007-2018) 品飲多一分礦物質感。口感明亮,風味乾淨!
Cask no. 3790 (12YO: 2007-2020) 聞香多一分蘋果味,滴水釋出一絲葡萄風味。口感較豐厚,甜感明顯!

Same Distillery, Same Cask Type, Different Age.
OB BenRiach bourbon single barrel PK
Distilled on the exact same day but bottled two years apart.
Cask no. 3782 (10YO: 2007-2018)
Vanilla, honey, mango with a hint of mineral tone. Bright, vibrant finish!
Cask no. 3790 (12YO: 2007-2020)
Vanilla, apple, grape (more noticeable with a few drops of water) maple syrup, lemon zest. Long syrupy finish. The extra two years really made a difference! Slàinte!
