点评:Much more than just a whisky tasting! The historical importance of this independent bottler to the single malt scotch scene cannot be overstated. We were fortunate enough to partake in the “Vintage & Rare” tasting at the G & M Wine and Spirits shop in Elgin. We were warmly greeted by Fraser, the shop manager, then turned over to the delightful Gayle for what was most certainly a highlight of our scotch journey. I won’t specifically list the amazing whiskys that were shared, but we enjoyed some from the Connoisseurs Choice and Private Collection, and a few other "once in a lifetime" tastings. Suffice it to say that the visit was above and beyond our expectations. We also left the shop with some excellent and reasonably priced bottles.
Bottom line: if you're on a whisky tasting journey through Speyside, it would be a mistake to not plan a stop in Elgin and visit G & M. There are lovely hotels/restaurants and a railway station within walking distance.
翻译:不仅仅是威士忌品鉴!这家独立瓶装商对单一麦芽苏格兰威士忌的历史重要性不容小觑。我们很幸运地参加了在埃尔金的 G & M 葡萄酒和烈酒店举办的“Vintage & Rare”品鉴会。店长弗雷泽热情地欢迎了我们,然后把我们交给了令人愉快的盖尔,这无疑是我们苏格兰之旅的一大亮点。我不会具体列出分享的令人惊叹的威士忌,但我们享受了一些鉴赏家精选和私人收藏,以及其他一些“一生一次”的品鉴。可以说,这次访问超出了我们的预期。我们还从商店带走了一些优质且价格合理的酒。
总之:如果您正在斯佩塞品尝威士忌,那么如果不计划在埃尔金停留并参观 G & M,那将是一个错误。那里有可爱的酒店/餐厅和火车站,步行距离内就有。
