Adult's Apple Juice --- The Epicurean Calvados Limited Edition

跨越國界的工藝禮讚：Douglas Laing 隆重推出「The Epicurean 諾曼第Calvados限量版」

知名獨立裝瓶商 Douglas Laing & Co. 正式發表旗下的最新力作——The Epicurean Calvados Limited Edition。這款獨特的調和麥芽威士忌，巧妙地將蘇格蘭低地（Lowland）麥芽的優雅花香，與法國北部諾曼第地區蘋果白蘭地（Calvados）的果園清香完美融合。這款全球僅限量 1,800 瓶的珍稀佳釀，被譽為「傳統、創新與卓越工藝的終極慶典」。

風味再進化：當低地清甜遇上法式果香

此款限量版威士忌以 48% ABV 的高酒精度裝瓶。藉由卡爾瓦多斯橡木桶的陳釀影響，原先 The Epicurean 系列那標誌性的清新、活力與柑橘調性被提升到了全新高度。威士忌鑑賞家將能品味到橡木桶賦予的深邃層次，感受一場由爽脆蘋果糖、甜美多汁的梨香，以及溫暖太妃糖底蘊交織而成的風味交響曲。

官方品飲筆記 (Tasting Notes)

The Epicurean Calvados 限量版 首先帶出清新、活潑且充滿活力的柑橘氣息，隨後轉化為爽脆的蘋果糖與甜美多汁的梨香，最後以溫暖、療癒的太妃糖香氣優雅收尾。

品牌觀點：風味與木桶的深度對話

品牌經理 Scott Morrison 對此表示：

「我們深信，風味的塑造貫穿於威士忌製作的每個環節，但唯有在熟成階段中，酒液與木桶間的交互作用，才能真正讓風味綻放。這款特別版裝瓶正是此信念的實證——卡爾瓦多斯桶賦予了豐富且具層次的風味，將我們的低地麥芽威士忌推向了全新的領域。」

The Epicurean Calvados Limited Edition greets the palate with fresh, vibrant, and citrusy notes, followed by the crispness of apple drops, the sweetness of juicy pears, and the comforting warmth of toffee undertones.

Scott Morrison, Brand Manager commented:

“Our belief is that flavour is created throughout the whisky-making process, but it’s during the interaction between spirit and wood in maturation where it truly flourishes. This special bottling is a testament to that belief, with the Calvados casks imparting rich, nuanced flavours that elevate our Lowland Malt to new heights”.
