点评:Whisky Tour Review – Speyside Whisky Tours
If you’re a whisky lover, or even just whisky-curious, a Speyside Whisky Tour is an experience you won’t want to miss. Nestled in the heart of Scotland’s whisky country, Speyside is home to some of the most iconic distilleries, and this tour gives you the chance to get a “taste” of the best of them in Dufftown.
The tour we went on was well-organized, with a knowledgeable guide who was clearly passionate about whisky and Speyside’s history. Michelle took us on a scenic walk through the region’s stunning landscape, passing rolling hills, ponies and coos, and crystal-clear rivers that make you feel like you’ve stepped into another world or time period.
We visited several distilleries exteriors, including Glenfiddich and Mortlach. Each stop offered a unique insight into the whisky-making process, from the malting of the barley to fermentation, distillation, and aging. It was fascinating to see how each distillery had its own techniques and traditions while still following the time-honored methods of Scotch whisky production. Mixed in were local stories of figures and traditions historic to the area.
The highlight, of course, was the tasting sessions. At each stop, we were treated to an interesting whisky, sometimes paired with treats such as homemade shortbread or chocolate—whisky profiles ranged from light and floral to rich and sherried.
Comfortable walking shoes and being prepared for the weather is a must, and bathrooms are not available during the walking tour. Be sure to have a designated driver and a reservation to a restaurant following the tour.
翻译:威士忌之旅评论——斯佩塞威士忌之旅
如果您是威士忌爱好者,甚至只是对威士忌好奇,斯佩塞威士忌之旅是您不容错过的体验。斯佩塞坐落在苏格兰威士忌之乡的中心地带,是一些最具标志性的酿酒厂的所在地,这次旅行让您有机会在达夫镇“品尝”其中最好的酒厂。
我们参加的旅行组织得很好,有一位知识渊博的导游,他显然对威士忌和斯佩塞的历史充满热情。米歇尔带我们漫步在该地区令人惊叹的风景中,经过连绵起伏的山丘、小马和咕咕叫声,还有清澈的河流,让您感觉自己仿佛踏入了另一个世界或时代。
我们参观了几家酿酒厂的外部,包括格兰菲迪和莫特拉克。每一站都提供了对威士忌制作过程的独特见解,从大麦的麦芽到发酵、蒸馏和陈酿。看到每个酿酒厂都有自己的技术和传统,同时仍然遵循苏格兰威士忌生产的悠久方法,真是令人着迷。其中还穿插着当地历史人物和传统的故事。
当然,亮点是品酒会。在每一站,我们都会品尝到有趣的威士忌,有时还会搭配自制酥饼或巧克力等零食——威士忌的口味从清淡的花香到浓郁的雪利酒。
舒适的步行鞋和做好应对天气的准备是必不可少的,步行游览期间不提供卫生间。游览结束后,一定要找一个指定的司机并预订餐厅。
