点评:Had a few hours to kill on the last day of our little get away so decided to book the distillery tour, tasting and museum visit.
We enjoyed it, as it was our first tour around a distillery and it was interesting to see the precision and care that goes into the process. The tasting was...well whisky tasting...so it's inherently going to be great but it's the little touches and the organisation put into it was brilliant, an actual room specifically for tasting all set up and ready as oppose to just pouring some into a little glasses at the end of the tour. I'll not elaborate too much as i wouldn't want to spoil it for others.
Sometimes with tour guides they can end up lacking enthusiasm after a while and start sounding like monotonous script reading but he was genuinely passionate about the distillation process, very interactive and informative. Also suggested a walk for me and my partner when asked after the tour which we appreciated.
The museum despite being quite small is a wealth of information which i had to be dragged from by my partner or I'd of done another 20 minutes in there!
Would highly recommend booking up if you're in the area and have a spare 2 hours.

我们很喜欢这次体验,因为这是我们第一次参观酒厂,亲眼目睹酿造过程中的精准和细致,感觉非常有趣。品酒环节……嗯,就是品鉴威士忌……所以本身就很棒,但真正让我们印象深刻的是那些细节和精心安排,比如专门准备了一个品酒室,布置得井井有条,而不是像其他酒厂那样,在参观结束后才简单地倒一些酒到小杯子里。我就不多说了,免得破坏大家的体验。
有时候,导游讲解一段时间后会失去热情,开始像念稿子一样单调乏味,但这位导游对蒸馏过程充满热情,讲解生动有趣,而且知识渊博。参观结束后,我们还询问他是否有什么好去处,他都热情地推荐了一条散步路线,我们对此非常感激。
这家博物馆虽然不大,但信息量却非常丰富,我差点被伴侣拉走,不然我肯定会在里面再待上20分钟!
如果你在附近,而且有两小时的空闲时间,强烈建议提前预订。
