点评:This was my second distillery visit after Glenlivet the previous day. The tour was the 2 hour Hopkins Experience and I discovered that I was the only person on the tour. The distillery was reasonably small but more 'old fashioned' and all the better for it as it was fun to view the really older parts of the buildings which were now unused.
The tour guide, who I think his name was Alec (sorry if I have got that wrong) was an excellent guide who had worked in the distillery for years and therefore had a great knowledge of whisky making and the distillery.
Access and photographs were allowed almost everywhere which was great and the tasting experience was fantastic. Only downside was that several of the whiskies were not available to buy in the shop, which was quite small. But they have only been doing tours for a few years so hopefully this is an area that they will be improving on in the future.
翻译:这是我继前一天参观格兰利威之后第二次参观酒厂。这次旅行是两小时的霍普金斯体验,我发现我是唯一一个游客。酒厂规模不大,但更具“复古”风格,而参观那些如今已废弃的古老建筑部分也因此更加精彩。
导游,我记得他叫亚历克(如果我记错了,请见谅),是一位非常优秀的导游,他在酒厂工作多年,对威士忌的酿造和酒厂本身都非常了解。
几乎所有地方都允许进入和拍照,这很棒,品酒体验也非常棒。唯一的缺点是,有些威士忌在规模很小的商店里买不到。不过,他们才推出了几年的威士忌导览服务,希望未来能在这方面有所改进。
