保羅約翰光輝威士忌Paul John BRILLIANCE Indian Single Malt Whisky
得獎紀錄：
Award:
保羅約翰光輝威士忌，贏得2020年世界威士忌大獎WWA印度威士忌類最佳威士忌。
Paul John’s BRILLIANCE Whisky, which won the WWA World Whisky Awards 2020 in the category of Best Indian Whisky.
聞香：
入鼻就有暴力般的多種香氣沖鼻，
第一層是大麥香，
聞久一點，來自四面八方的花香紛呈，香氣留在鼻中久久不散。
Nose:
There is a violent variety of aromas in the nose.
The first layer is barley fragrance.
Smell a little longer, from the four sides of the floral aromas are presented, the fragrance remains in the nose for a long time.
品嚐：
初入口像香料在舌尖炸開，入喉後甜味悠長，
第二口以後，口感順滑，
強烈的甜味周圍有很淡的鹹味繚繞。
Taste :
The first sip is like spices exploding on the tongue, with a long sweetness in the throat.
After the second sip, the taste is smooth and smooth.
The strong sweetness is surrounded by a very light salty flavor.
餘韻：
非常黏的香草油脂感貼附在上顎與喉間，
還留有一點點奶油蛋糕味，整個餘韻久久不散。
Finish:
A very sticky vanilla oil feeling clings to the palate and throat.
There is still a hint of buttercream, and the whole aftertaste lingers for a long time.
特別值得一提的是：保羅約翰光輝威士忌的香氣，入鼻時有點像噶瑪蘭經典單一麥芽威士忌 №1 ，不過，價格上，還是台灣宜蘭地主隊價格比較親民；
The aroma of Paul John BRILLIANCE Whisky is very close to the classic Kavalan single malt whisky №1 of Taiwan, however, the price of Kavalan №1 is more affordable.
在餘韻上，保羅約翰光輝威士忌那種揮之不去、近乎貼著喉頭的香草油味，要比噶瑪蘭經典單一麥芽威士忌 №1，餘韻要深長很多。
But on the finish, the lingering, almost throaty vanilla oil taste of Paul John BRILLIANCE Whisky is much deeper than the classic Kavalan single malt whisky №1.
雅沐特金典單一純麥威士忌AMRUT Indian Single Malt Whisky
雅沐特金典單一純麥威士忌盒上的敘述，強調使用水源來自喜馬拉雅山脈，也許真有奇效。
The description on the box of Amrut Single Malt Whisky, which emphasizes the use of water from the Himalayas, may have worked wonders.

聞香：
非常意外，首先入鼻的是很像葡萄乾浸在白蘭地裡那種濕濕的酸果香，
然後背後有淡淡的葡萄奶酥麵包皮的香味，
但聞得越久，濕葡萄乾的味道越濃郁。
Nose:
The first thing that came to my nose was a wet, fruity aroma like raisins soaked in brandy.
Then there was a faint aroma of grape shortbread crust in the background.
But the longer I smelled it, the more intense the wet raisin smell became.
品嚐：
初入口時，整個舌頭周圍似乎被一層蜂蜜包覆，
酒液在口裡咀嚼得越久，背後彷彿胡椒或老薑的辛辣才散開。
Taste :
At first, the whole tongue seems to be covered with a layer of honey.
The longer the wine is chewed in the mouth, the more the spicy notes of pepper or ginger dissipate in the back.
餘韻：
優雅的淡苦味浮現，像沖淡了的IPA啤酒花苦味，然後是舌底那種清淡的青草茶味。
Finish:
An elegant light bitterness emerges, like the bitterness of washed down IPA hops, followed by a light, grassy tea taste on the base of the tongue.
結論：
兩者對決品嚐結果：香氣、品嚐、餘韻三個層面，保羅約翰光輝威士忌的花香、彷彿薄霧貼著喉頭的香草奶油味，都略勝一籌。
Conclusion：
The result of the duel between the two: aroma, taste and finish, the floral aroma of Paul John BRILLIANCE Whisky and its vanilla creaminess that seems like a mist on the throat are slightly better.
