香氣讓人感覺相當的紮實，但是有點些許的沉悶感，也可以說是一種很沉重的感受，一開始的香氣浮現就有明顯的熔岩巧克力蛋糕，而這熔岩巧克力蛋糕可以說是相當的新鮮，叉子從中一分為二，還能看到濃郁的巧克力緩緩溢出，後段的香氣開始後會有帶一點細微的果酸感表現。

入口一開始會有些許的果酸感與澀口感，酒體可以說是相當的紮實厚重，舌頭前端會有少許的刺激感，再仔細的感受一下，會覺得這酒體也帶有微微的粉感，一入口後，黑色莓果搶在前端浮現，也不會有太過的辛香料，可以說是有著相當豐富的層次變化，但是後段會有些許的苦尾表現，而這苦感較像是黑巧克力般的苦感。

這一款 Macallan 單純論酒來說，雖然是無年份 NAS 的 First Fill Sherry 酒款，借由品飲後，可以感受到桶子的活性很強，吃桶相當的深，對於一些威士忌的狂熱品飲家而言，都知道酒標上的年份不代表一切，這些玩家或是老饕，要的是最後風味是不是符合自己的喜好。

一款單桶威士忌到底要熟成多久？我想.......橡木桶的活性早已決定了一切！

如果硬要說這一款酒哪裡不好，我自己個人覺得就香氣太悶了一點，但也許再等待一陣子又會有不同的感受，入口的口感與尾韻表現也沒什麼不討喜的表現，對於喜歡重口味表現的老饕與玩家們，應該會蠻喜歡這一款酒。

The Macallan launches ‘Remix, Remixed’

To celebrate the 75th birthday of the contemporary Japanese photographer Daido Moriyama and to acknowledge his contribution to the art of photography, The Macallan has launched The Macallan Masters of Photography: Capsule Edition - Daido Moriyama ‘Remix, Remixed’.

This limited edition offering of only 500 bottles, exclusive to Asia Travel Retail, features a remix of Daido Moriyama work from his renowned book of the same name ‘Remix’ along with some other carefully selected material. Each specially bound book, which includes a series of inspired French fold pages, has been hand-signed by the photographer. The aim was to showcase his impactful style by bringing it to a wider audience, pairing it with a one-off cask strength single malt Scotch whisky from The Macallan. 

The whisky chosen by The Macallan’s whisky maker Bob Dalgarno has been matured in a first fill sherry seasoned oak cask (cask no. 15,245) and bottled at 58.9% abv. 

Measuring 75 on The Macallan colour scale, this is one of the darkest single casks ever released and is priced at US$1,750. 

Ken Grier, director of malts at Edrington, comments:  “We took our inspiration for this capsule edition of The Macallan Masters of Photography following an exclusive event by Daido Moriyama, supported by The Macallan at The Tate Modern, entitled ‘Menu’.  The 350 guests gathered and selected their personal menu of Daido Moriyama’s photographs which were then bound into a screen-printed book cover and signed by Daido. 

“This made such an impression that we were moved to further celebrate his work by creating a very distinctive limited edition.  We felt passionately about capturing Moriyama’s challenging perspective and style.  His influence over the photographic world in both Japan and the rest of the world has been profound, and we’re relishing marking his life and work with this latest release.”

As part of the Masters of Wines & Spirits World Traveller Showcase, The Macallan Masters of Photography: Capsule Edition - Daido Moriyama will be displayed and available for sale in DFS stores at Singapore Changi Airport Terminals 1, 2, and 3 from mid-November 2013 until the end of February 2014.

The limited edition will also be showcased in other specially selected travel retail stores from January 2014.
