点评:I have come across the Hvitserkur rum back in 2022 and bought myself a bottle for my collection (I collect rum from every place I visit, if one is "produced" of course at my destination haha) and not knowing I will ever get another chance to revisit Iceland it proudly stood there on my bar.
What I didn't realize is not only that in 2024 I will get another chance at the amazing Iceland but also that I will find the distillery behind this rum, and that I will actually get to enjoy it - it's suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch a nice rum, the white in particular is probably one if not the best white rum I had ever. The dark and spiced are nice too, but the white one is just so unique, still being a molasses based rum I find it extremely surprising how flavorful and smooth it is - normally white rum is to be mixed, this is far too good to mix, I actually end up sipping it - kudos to the distillery, extremely impressive and I have been to probably by now about 30 rum distilleries around Caribbean and Pacific regions!
I bought their gift set (didn't see it at the airport) so I could try everything without the worrying about the drive ahead of me in Iceland :) about $58 so it's no an inexpensive treat but for Iceland's prices and overall quality of this place worth every $.
They do tours by appointment only as they are located in a somewhat commercial region outside of Reykjavik (yet within easy 10 minutes drive to the touristy center of it) - they were kind enough to open for a moment just so I could pick up my gift set and be able to see their display - very nice place!
翻译:我在 2022 年偶然发现了 Hvitserkur 朗姆酒,并买了一瓶作为我的收藏品(我会从我去过的每个地方收集朗姆酒,当然,如果在我的目的地“生产”朗姆酒的话,哈哈),我不知道我是否还有机会再次访问冰岛,它骄傲地站在我的酒吧里。
我没有意识到的是,不仅在 2024 年我将再次有机会游览神奇的冰岛,而且我还会找到这款朗姆酒背后的酿酒厂,我将真正享受它——这是一款非常棒的朗姆酒,尤其是白朗姆酒,可能是我喝过的最好的白朗姆酒之一,如果不是最好的。黑朗姆酒和香料朗姆酒也不错,但白朗姆酒非常独特,它仍然是一种以糖蜜为基础的朗姆酒,我发现它的味道和口感非常令人惊讶——通常白朗姆酒是混合的,这款朗姆酒太好了,我最终还是小口小口地喝了下去——这家酿酒厂太棒了,非常令人印象深刻,到目前为止,我可能已经去过加勒比海和太平洋地区大约 30 家朗姆酒酿酒厂了!
我买了他们的礼品套装(在机场没看到),这样我就可以尝试所有的东西,而不用担心在冰岛的车程 :) 大约 58 美元,所以这不是一个便宜的享受,但对于冰岛的价格和这个地方的整体质量来说,每一美元都是值得的。
他们只接受预约参观,因为他们位于雷克雅未克郊外一个有点商业化的地区(但开车 10 分钟就可到达旅游中心)——他们很好心地开了一会儿,这样我就可以拿我的礼品套装,看看他们的展示——非常好的地方!
