点评:Turned up on the day after my birthday to purchase a distillery exclusive Spirit of Speyside 2026 bottling of their whisky where we unexpectedly bumped into the Distillery owner AND his father - both VERY lovely and welcoming people
After mentioning by birthday they went out of their way to offer me and my wife a tour - so this honour was then passed to Neil who was at the distillery and had then proceeded to offer us an impromptu whistle stop tour of sorts! Only went in for a bottle and ended up getting a tour
Neil was great - informative, answered a few questions I had regarding processes etc and then offered me and my wife driver dram packs (she doesn’t drink and I was driving)
The distillery is beautiful, fascinating story about its inception and how it came to be, lovely little warehouse where all the casks were “sleeping” and a very unexpected welcome!
Felt very special for getting an impromptu tour (considering it wasn’t even planned!) and ended up walking away with both the Spirit of Speyside bottling and a lovely Sherry Cask Single Cask distillery exclusive. Also if you get the chance to try the Ballindalloch Apple Juice then do so - it’s really good!
Lovely to have met Guy, Oliver and, of course, the wonderful Neil for taking us round
Would love to be back again!
Highly recommended and beautiful grounds as well
翻译:生日第二天,我去酒厂买一瓶2026年份的斯佩塞之魂(Spirit of Speyside)威士忌,没想到竟然碰到了酒厂老板和他的父亲——他们俩都非常热情友好。
提到我的生日后,他们特意安排我和妻子参观酒厂。于是,这份荣幸就交给了当时也在酒厂的尼尔,他热情地为我们安排了一次即兴的快速导览!我们原本只是想买瓶酒,结果却意外地参观了整个酒厂。
尼尔非常棒——他知识渊博,解答了我关于酿造工艺等方面的几个问题,还给了我和妻子一些司机小样(她不喝酒,而我开车)。
酒厂很漂亮,它的创立故事引人入胜,还有一个可爱的小仓库,里面存放着所有的酒桶,真是“沉睡”于此。我们受到了意想不到的热情款待!
能获得一次即兴参观(考虑到这完全是临时安排的!)感觉非常特别,最后还带走了斯佩塞之魂(Spirit of Speyside)威士忌和一瓶很棒的雪莉桶单一桶威士忌(酒厂独家)。另外,如果你有机会,一定要尝尝巴林达洛赫苹果汁(Ballindalloch Apple Juice)——真的很好喝!
很高兴认识盖伊(Guy)、奥利弗(Oliver),当然还有带我们参观的可爱的尼尔(Neil)。
真希望还能再来!
强烈推荐,酒厂环境也很漂亮。
