、雪莉桶
, Shirley bucket
雪利酒的制作一般避免使用新橡木桶，Solera使用的大多數(shù)酒桶都已使用十年以上。這些酒桶在用于雪利酒之前已經(jīng)受葡萄酒的酒液影響了。通過各種陳釀方法，不同品種的雪利酒具有獨特的風味。例如，oloroso與空氣接觸，有助于形成水果和堅果的味道；而Fino則通過一層酵母酒花來保護酒液受到受空氣的侵害，從而使雪利酒保持清爽和新鮮。佩德羅·西梅內(nèi)斯（Pedro Ximenez，通常稱作PX）是由葡萄干釀制而成的，葡萄在發(fā)酵前要放在陽光下晾干。
Sherry production generally avoids the use of new oak barrels. Most barrels used by Solera have been used for more than ten years. These barrels were already affected by the liquor of the wine before they were used in sherry. Through various aging methods, different varieties of sherry have unique flavor. For example, the contact of Oloroso with air helps to form the taste of fruits and nuts; Fino protects the liquor from the air through a layer of yeast hops, so as to keep the sherry fresh and fresh. Pedro Ximenez (commonly known as PX) is brewed from raisins. Grapes should be dried in the sun before fermentation.
威士忌酒廠通常會購買歐洲的橡木桶，主要是西班牙的雪利桶。雪莉酒會浸入桶壁之中，這將對威士忌的味道和顏色產(chǎn)生巨大影響。用雪利桶陳釀出來的威士忌的風味一般會包括：無花果、棗、葡萄干、堅果、櫻桃、肉桂、丁香、杏仁餅、姜、水果蛋糕等。
Whisky wineries usually buy European oak barrels, mainly Spanish Sherry barrels. Sherry will dip into the barrel wall, which will have a great impact on the taste and color of whisky. The flavors of Whisky Aged in sherry barrels generally include figs, dates, raisins, nuts, cherries, cinnamon, cloves, almond cakes, ginger, fruit cakes, etc.
2、波本桶
2. Bourbon barrel
波本威士忌酒桶由美國白橡木制成。美國的波本威士忌都是在新白橡木桶中熟化的。在添加波本威士忌之前，這些桶都要經(jīng)過烘烤和炭化處理。此外，波本威士忌的ABV含量會影響桶的味道，ABV越高，對木桶的影響越大?；旧?，較高的酒精含量會削弱酒桶烘烤和燒焦的特征強度，那用這些酒桶釀造的下一批威士忌能夠得到的烘烤和焦炭的風味就會非常少了。
Bourbon barrels are made of American white oak. American Bourbon is matured in new white oak barrels. These barrels are baked and charred before adding Bourbon Whisky. In addition, the abv content of Bourbon Whisky will affect the taste of the barrel. The higher the abv, the greater the impact on the barrel. Basically, higher alcohol content will weaken the characteristic strength of barrel baking and charring, and the next batch of whisky brewed from these barrels will get very little baking and coke flavor.
蘇格蘭威士忌在前波旁威士忌酒桶中熟化一段時間后，釀酒師將各種桶裝的威士忌混合在一起。在前波旁威士忌酒桶中陳釀的威士忌酒液通常具有金色特征。風味一般包括有椰子、香草、蜂蜜、焦糖、橡木、皮革、肉豆蔻、杏仁、奶油糖等。
After the Scotch whisky is matured in the front Bourbon Whisky barrel for a period of time, the winemaker mixes all kinds of barrels of whisky together. The whisky liquor aged in the front Bourbon barrel usually has golden characteristics. Flavors generally include coconut, vanilla, honey, caramel, oak, leather, nutmeg, almond, cream sugar, etc.
3、波特桶
3. Porter bucket
波特有幾種類型，每種都有其獨特的風格。茶色波特（Tawny port）的顏色為金黃色，主要在較舊的木桶中熟化，輕度氧化。茶色波特酒可以在橡木桶中陳放長達40年，而年份波特酒在桶中只需要熟化23年。紅寶石波特主要是在鋼制罐中成熟，以避免氧化，因此前紅寶石港口的木桶很少見。
There are several types of Potter, each with its own unique style. Tawny port is golden in color, mainly matured in older wooden barrels and slightly oxidized. Tan port can be aged in oak barrels for up to 40 years, while Vintage Port only needs to mature in barrels for 2 to 3 years. Ruby Porter is mainly matured in steel tanks to avoid oxidation, so wooden barrels in the former ruby port are rare.
在桶中的陳釀會增加威士忌的柔和度和果味，風味會有所不同，具體取決于先前在酒桶中陳年的酒的類型。用前波特酒桶陳釀的威士忌一般會呈現(xiàn)出的風味包括：李子、黑莓、提子干、紅漿果、蘋果干、橡木、酸果蔓、黑巧克力等。
Aging in the barrel will increase the softness and fruitiness of the whisky, and the flavor will vary, depending on the type of wine previously aged in the barrel. Whisky Aged in pre Porter barrels generally presents flavors including plum, blackberry, dried raisins, red berries, dried apples, oak, cranberry, dark chocolate, etc.
4、冰酒桶
4. Ice wine barrel
目前為止，用前冰酒桶陳釀的威士忌非常少，但是風味很獨特。比如Glenfiddich格蘭菲迪的冬季暴風雨就是前冰酒酒桶陳釀的，我本人就特別喜歡。冰酒的甜味微妙的滲透到了威士忌當中，還是很吸引人的。比如Glenfiddich格蘭菲迪的白色暴風雪就是在裝瓶前，在前冰酒桶中完成的。
So far, there are very few whiskies aged in ice barrels, but the flavor is very unique. For example, Glenfiddich's winter storm is aged in the former ice wine barrel, which I especially like. The sweet taste of ice wine subtly penetrates into whisky, which is still very attractive. For example, Glenfiddich's white storm was completed in the front ice barrel before bottling.
5、朗姆桶
5. Rum barrel
用朗姆酒的酒桶陳釀威士忌，近年來非常流行。難怪，因為這些酒桶給威士忌添加了甜美的熱帶香氣，而且往往很容易獲取到這些風味。朗姆酒的酒桶由美國橡木制成。朗姆酒種類繁多，因此每種朗姆酒都會對酒液產(chǎn)生獨特的影響。朗姆酒桶制成的威士忌也為雞尾酒制作增色不少。
Whisky Aged in rum barrels has become very popular in recent years. No wonder, because these barrels add sweet tropical aroma to whisky, and these flavors are often easy to obtain. The barrels of rum are made of American oak. There are many kinds of rum, so each kind of rum will have a unique impact on the liquor. Whisky made from rum barrels also adds color to cocktail making.
用朗姆酒桶陳釀的威士忌，風味特征主要包括：香草、熱帶水果、杏、焦糖、肉桂、成熟的香蕉、胡椒、糖蜜等。
The flavor characteristics of Whisky Aged in rum barrel mainly include vanilla, tropical fruit, apricot, caramel, cinnamon, mature banana, pepper, molasses, etc.
6、干邑桶
6. Cognac bucket
干邑白蘭地的酒桶是由法國橡木制成，這些酒桶將為威士忌帶來豐富和微妙的果味。干邑白蘭地的酒桶往往很舊，因為白蘭地可以陳年50年。用前干邑桶陳釀的威士忌，風味特征通常包括：提子干、甘草、橡木、水果、堅果、焦糖等。不過用前干邑桶陳釀的威士忌比較少見，這款雅柏（阿貝）就是用這種酒桶陳釀的。
The barrels of cognac brandy are made of French oak. These barrels will bring rich and subtle fruit flavor to whisky. The barrel of cognac brandy is often very old, because brandy can age to 50 years. The flavor characteristics of Whisky Aged in cognac barrels usually include raisin, licorice, oak, fruit, nuts, caramel, etc. However, Whisky Aged in pre cognac barrels is rare. This Yabo (Abbe) is aged in this barrel.
7、葡萄酒桶
7. Wine barrel
這些酒桶通常由法國橡木制成。紅葡萄酒桶和白葡萄酒桶都可以用來陳釀威士忌，盡管這還不那么普遍，而且這些裝瓶往往是限量版。風味范圍因葡萄品種而異。有些紅酒比較辛辣、醇厚，而另一些則比較輕盈、果味更重。白葡萄酒可以帶出黃油般的質(zhì)感和草香風味。
These barrels are usually made of French oak. Both red wine barrels and white wine barrels can be used to age whisky, although this is not so common, and these bottles are often limited edition. The range of flavors varies from grape variety to grape variety. Some wines are spicy and mellow, while others are lighter and more fruity. White wine can bring out butter like texture and grass flavor.
前葡萄酒酒桶陳釀威士忌的風格特征主要包括：紅色漿果、櫻桃、李子、面包、焦糖、青蘋果、梨、黃油等。
The style characteristics of Whisky Aged in the front wine barrel mainly include: red berries, cherries, plums, bread, caramel, green apples, pears, butter, etc.
通過選用不同類型和不同尺寸的酒桶，釀酒師可以創(chuàng)造出不同風味的威士忌。他們可以使用一系列相同的酒桶，例如，不同的前波本威士忌酒，或混合和搭配從波本桶到朗姆桶的各種酒桶類型。不過，以原桶強度裝瓶、不經(jīng)過冷濾、人工填色或其他干擾，盡量以原始面貌呈現(xiàn)給人們，可能是很多威士忌釀酒師的追求。
By selecting different types and sizes of barrels, winemakers can create whisky with different flavors. They can use a series of the same barrels, for example, different pre Bourbon whiskies, or mix and match various barrel types from Bourbon to rum. However, it may be the pursuit of many whisky winemakers to bottle with the strength of the original barrel, without cold filtration, artificial coloring or other interference, and try to present the original appearance to people.
知道了這些以后，對于威士忌酒標上的Single Cask單桶、Double Cask雙桶、Triple Cask三桶的術(shù)語就很容易理解了。
After knowing these, it is easy to understand the terms of Single Cask, double cask and triple cask on the label of whisky.
單桶威士忌（Single Cask/Barrel），指的是瓶內(nèi)的威士忌是來自單一橡木桶。因為即便是同樣的蒸餾批次、木桶類型、入桶時間和時長，但是，如果不是出自同一個橡木桶，所釀出來的威士忌的風味依然是不同的。也就是說，單桶威士忌強調(diào)的是風格和口感的獨特性。
Single Cask / barrel refers to that the whisky in the bottle comes from a single oak barrel. Because even if it is the same distillation batch, barrel type, barrel entry time and time, the flavor of whisky is still different if it is not from the same oak barrel. In other words, single barrel whisky emphasizes the uniqueness of style and taste.
