Phantom Spirits x Mikkeller – Beer Geek Vanilla Shake – Guatemala 4yo
香氣帶有香草、焦糖巧克力軟糖與烘烤水果的氣息。口感呈現甜美的香草、白蘭地浸漬葡萄乾，以及焦糖巧克力軟糖的風味。
顧名思義，這款蘭姆酒最終儲存在Mikkeller熱門啤酒Vanilla Shake使用過的啤酒桶中，這些酒桶因啤酒的陳放時間而散發出香草、咖啡與麥芽的香氣。在此之前，這款以糖蜜為基底的蘭姆酒，曾在瓜地馬拉的熱帶氣候中，於使用過的美國波本桶中陳年。
The vanilla hits you right at the pour, but it’s that cognac-soaked raisin finish that keeps me coming back for another sip. After four years in Guatemala, the caramel-chocolate fudge depth is unmistakably smooth.
I opened the bottle expecting just another barrel-aged stout, but that first pour hit me with real vanilla fudge and raisin depth. The 4-year aging makes it dangerously smooth — I sipped it neat and it was gone way too fast.
The 4-year aging really comes through — it’s smooth with a deep baked fruit note that lingers nicely after each sip. The cognac marinated raisins are the standout for me, adding a rich warmth that makes it feel like a dessert in a glass.
