点评:I’m going to be brutally honest here. Do not go on a Saturday. It’s so crowded you can hardly get to the tasting area to get your samples. There will be no where to sit and enjoy the music and atmosphere. Parking will be hard at best. We walked in and had no idea what to do as there was no one welcoming us. Our tour started late. The tour consisted of standing in front of the Rick house and listening to our tour guide David talk down another distillery.
The hi-lite was Ranger walking over for pets. The goats were caged the whole time so we didn’t get to interact with them. We also didn’t try the food because once again, no where to sit and enjoy.
That being said, we will give them another chance because we want to see and hear all the things when it’s not so packed and will request a different tour guide.
The lady at the gift shop was wonderful. I forgot to get her name. She answered the questions I would normally ask the tour guide. Didn’t go home with any bourbon this round as we didn’t fight our way to get a taste of all of them. Did take home a bottle of their Pecan Pie Foggy Dog that we tasted at the gift shop.(peep one of my dogs with the foggy dog)
Hopefully our next experience will be so much better.
翻译:我要实话实说。千万别在周六去。人多得你都挤不进品酒区,根本没法拿到样品。也没地方坐下来好好享受音乐和氛围。停车更是难上加难。我们进去的时候完全不知道该怎么办,因为没人招呼我们。我们的参观开始得也晚了。参观内容就是站在里克酒厂的门前,听导游大卫讲解另一家酒厂。
唯一的亮点是护林员走过来和大家互动。山羊全程都被关在笼子里,所以我们根本没机会和它们互动。我们也没尝到食物,因为还是找不到地方坐下来享用。
话虽如此,我们还是会再给他们一次机会,因为我们想在人少的时候好好看看、听听,而且下次会要求换个导游。
礼品店的那位女士人特别好。我忘了问她叫什么名字。她回答了我通常会问导游的问题。这次没带任何波本威士忌回家,因为我们没能尝遍所有酒款。不过倒是带回了一瓶我们在礼品店尝过的山核桃派口味的“雾狗”(Foggy Dog)。(看看我家狗狗和“雾狗”的合影!)
希望下次体验会好得多。
