Chivas 38 year Royal Salute Blended Whisky

A medium intensity copper coloured dry whisky with quite intense aromas of floral, sweet cinnamon, honey, ginger and touch of dates and sawdust. Water dilutes everything. It has medium acidity, alcohol and bodied. On palate it gives quite intense spice, lemon, cinnamon, honey and touch of caramel notes. Fairly long length with spicy finish. (93)

雖然是38年的酒，但仍有一種頗商業化的味道。味道範圍寬，酒力強，餘韻亦長。酒味在口中平穩四正，令人覺得很大路，証明廠方調較得好。不錯，但我建議最好別加水或冰，直飲最好。

香味清新，沒有單一麥芽咁重味，花香味較多，正。
