There are so many distilleries, whiskies and tastings but DO NOT MISS this one!
Aberlour Distillery Brand Home的点评
点评:We had a very enthusiastic young man by the name of Flynn that took us through the A'bunadh tasting. Flynn went through the process of distillation in a way that simplified things for the layman. I have visited so many of the distilleries in my lifetime and found this to be one of my favourite tastings. I particularly enjoyed his explanation and the history behind why they started using sherry casks in the maturation process, never heard the history behind the casks before. Other distilleries I have been to would tell us what is used and the impact on the taste and the colour of the whisky but not how it came about that they used barrels in the first place. Why sherry barrels were introduced etc, we loved it and so much appreciated learning something new. Of course it does help that A'bunadh is one of our favourites, it was by accident we tasted it some years back as my husband and I are very big Islay whisky drinkers and prefer peaty malt whisky. However A'bunadh is just an exquisite whisky and has peaked our interest in the Speyside region. We will be back, of that I have no doubt. Thank you!
翻译:一位名叫弗林的热情年轻人带我们体验了阿布纳德(A'bunadh)的品鉴。弗林以一种让外行人也能轻松理解的方式讲解了蒸馏过程。我这辈子参观过很多酒厂,这次品鉴是我最喜欢的一次。我尤其喜欢他的讲解,以及他们为什么开始在陈酿过程中使用雪利酒桶背后的历史,我以前从未听说过雪利酒桶背后的历史。我去过的其他酒厂会告诉我们使用了什么材料,以及雪利酒桶对威士忌口感和颜色的影响,但不会解释他们最初是如何使用雪利酒桶的。为什么要引入雪利酒桶等等,我们非常喜欢,非常感激能学到新的东西。当然,阿布纳德也是我们的最爱之一,这对我们来说也有很大帮助。几年前,我们偶然品尝了这款酒,因为我和我丈夫都是艾雷岛威士忌的忠实拥趸,而且更喜欢泥煤麦芽威士忌。不过,A'bunadh 确实是一款精致的威士忌,它激发了我们对斯佩塞产区的兴趣。我们一定会再来的,这一点我毫不怀疑。谢谢!
