【酒款與酒標介紹】
Procreate｜菁桐
鴨寶 Where’s Hazel? 這幅畫是在菁桐車站往日式宿舍群的公路旁的一座爬滿植物、長滿青苔的廢棄橋墩，自從她知道淡蘭古道後，每次跟隨 GPX 走的時候，都能遇見很多驚奇的角落與過往的生活遺跡。
Benriach 酒廠從 1897年建立後不到 3年的時間，即於 1900年被封存了將近 65年漫長的歲月，到 1965年才重新恢復正常生產。而這封存的 65年間，Benriach 仍持續生產地板發麥的麥芽供給 Longmorn 酒廠使用。
地板發麥在 1998年後停止，直到 2013年才在新團隊營運下重新啟動。這桶來自於 1997年的 Benriach 就是地板發麥即將停止前蒸餾出來的酒液，有著淡淡的煙燻果香、果乾、巧克力、菸草和些許令人回味無窮的老酒氣息。
作為「登山系列」最終款再適合不過，試著從每一口感受歷史的痕跡外，就像每次登山時總能發現到些許驚喜之處，從這款酒找尋讓你感到驚奇的滋味吧！
