点评:The experience is expertly led by an engaging host who seamlessly weaves in fascinating alcohol facts from around the world—including an excellent segment on correct glassware for different beverages—before diving into Goa's native spirit.
The discussion on Feni was highly informative, covering its GI-tagged heritage and its unique production and storage. We learned about the traditional steps, from the initial stomping of the cashew apples on the colmbi to the triple distillation process that yields Urrack and Feni. The curator provided detailed context, truly elevating the appreciation for this traditional Goan liquor.
The Tasting Experience
The heart of the session was the tasting, guided by an experienced mixologist. We sampled four Feni-based cocktails, creatively mixed with tropical and local ingredients (such as the memorable "Kokum Sour"). These perfectly balanced drinks showcased Feni’s versatility as a modern cocktail spirit. The session concluded with the obligatory final shot of straight Feni, offering an authentic, unadulterated taste that rounded off the visit perfectly.
翻译:这场体验由一位风趣幽默的主持人精心引导,他巧妙地穿插介绍了世界各地引人入胜的酒类知识——包括关于不同饮品适用酒杯的精彩讲解——之后带领我们深入探索果阿的本土烈酒。
关于芬尼酒的讲解信息量丰富,涵盖了其地理标志认证的历史传承、独特的生产和储存方式。我们了解了从最初用手踩踏腰果苹果到最终酿造乌拉克酒和芬尼酒的三次蒸馏工艺,整个传统流程。主持人提供了详尽的背景介绍,真正提升了我们对这款果阿传统烈酒的鉴赏力。
品鉴体验
本次活动的重头戏是品鉴环节,由一位经验丰富的调酒师指导。我们品尝了四款以芬尼酒为基酒的鸡尾酒,它们巧妙地融合了热带和当地食材(例如令人难忘的“可可酸酒”)。这些口感完美平衡的饮品充分展现了芬尼酒作为现代鸡尾酒基酒的百搭特性。最后,大家喝了一杯纯正的芬尼酒,为这次参观画上了圆满的句号,也带来了地道的芬尼酒风味。
