点评:Set in an enchanting location, this distillery is an absolute must-see. Minutes away from the ferry terminal on Raasay, it’s easy to reach on foot or car. The tour by Steve was informative, knowledgeable and relaxed, with many opportunities to ask questions along the way. The distillery itself is unique in many ways and worth the tour on its own, but the tastings are definitely a bonus (with designated drivers getting little bottles to take away and taste later). The whisky is indeed the star of the show and it was impossible to leave without a purchase. But what was really impressive to hear is how the distillery is having a positive impact on the islands economy and community, particularly as it’s not part of any large conglomerate. Following the tour we had a lovely light lunch in the bar where we met Jo, who it turns out originally comes from the same tiny village as me in Yorkshire (a total first!!).
As a ‘on a whim’ trip that we only decided to take the night before, the distillery and Raasay was absolutely the best part of our break. Honestly, anyone visiting Skye and the surrounding region is truly missing a gem of not taking the short ferry trip. We so hope to get back and visit again.
翻译:这家酒厂坐落在迷人的环境中,绝对不容错过。距离拉塞岛的渡轮码头仅几分钟路程,步行或驾车均可轻松抵达。史蒂夫的导览内容丰富、知识渊博,氛围轻松惬意,沿途还提供了众多提问机会。酒厂本身就独具特色,值得一游,但品酒体验更是锦上添花(指定司机会提供小瓶酒带走,稍后品尝)。威士忌绝对是这场酒展的亮点,让人忍不住想买点东西离开。但真正令人印象深刻的是,这家酒厂对岛屿经济和社区产生了积极的影响,尤其是在它不隶属于任何大型企业集团的情况下。参观结束后,我们在酒吧享用了一顿美味的清淡午餐,在那里我们遇到了乔,原来她和我来自约克郡的同一个小村庄(这真是第一次!)。
作为我们前一天晚上才决定的“一时兴起”的旅行,参观酒厂和拉塞岛绝对是我们假期中最精彩的部分。说实话,任何想去斯凯岛及其周边地区的人,如果不乘坐短途渡轮,真是错过了一大乐事。我们真希望以后还能再去一次。
